* As of first day, fall 2012 term. We are participating in the ABA-LSAC entering class credential certification pilot program.

The Mitchell Mix of students is one quality that makes a William Mitchell legal education stand out. The majority of our students are recent college graduates. They come here from a variety of educational backgrounds and institutions. A substantial number of our students enroll here after spending a decade or more pursuing other endeavors. Some plan to start a second career in the law, while others want to use their legal knowledge to strengthen their existing careers.

The Mitchell Mix makes for a lively classroom. You may find yourself in a health law class with a nurse practitioner or an intellectual property class with someone who has secured patents. Your law class comes to life, and your scholarly understanding is grounded in reality.
