Study Abroad and Global Learning

Study abroad

Richardson students may participate in ABA-Approved study abroad programs and receive credit. These programs include summer, intersession, semester, and year-long study in a location outside of the U.S. offered by ABA-approved law schools. In general, credits earned via ABA-accredited law school programs can be transferable toward your degree, but students need to consult with the Law Registrar: lawreg@hawaii.edu.
