We offer many choices of exchange programs abroad, so your first step should be to review these options as they are the most straight forward choice. When you participate in an exchange program, you stay enrolled at Cardozo, pay your regular tuition and fees, and your grants and scholarships remain. You apply through the Graduate and International Programs Office, and if you are selected, we nominate you to one of our partner law schools. 

If you have a particular country where you want to study abroad and we do not have a program in that location, you may consider applying for Independent Study Abroad. This process entails more work on the student’s part and requires taking a Leave of Absence from Cardozo, therefore you would not receive any grants or scholarships for that semester. Also with this option, the student must apply directly on their own to the program for admission. If you are trying to decide between these two options, we recommend that you make an appointment with the Senior Director of Graduate and International Programs to discuss.
