What is a “typical” student at Glendale?

The student population at Glendale has always been diverse.   Many cultures, professions, ages and lifestyles are represented adding a wonderful dynamic to the classroom and law school community.

In fall 2006, the average age of students in attendance was 34.  About 90% of these students worked at least part-time and 30%-40% have family responsibilities as well.

A common thread among these students is the desire to successfully complete a legal education while managing other life responsibilities.   The learning environment, educational quality, affordability, and part-time evening classes offered at Glendale University College of Law are designed to support them in this endeavor.
