The Charleston School of Law Externship Program provides students with a unique, real world experience outside of the classroom. Through the Externship Program, students gain practical experience in a variety of legal professions while earning academic credit.
Please note:
Students must have completed 27 credit hours and be in good standing before enrolling in any externship. A student can apply up to 8 hours of externship credit towards the number of credit hours required for graduation, but typically will not receive credit for the same externship placement twice.
