This proposal describes the J.D. program associated with the School of Law at the University of California, Irvine. The school was established by The Regents of the University of California in November 2006. The University of California, Irvine has general doctoral degree-granting authority for the Ph.D., but not for professional doctorates, though we currently offer two under this category: the M.D., and the Ed.D. WASC therefore requires that a substantive change proposal for the J.D. be submitted under the rubric of new professional doctorate degrees.
The proposals and reports posted on this website have been submitted voluntarily by institutions. They are examples and are not intended to be models for "ideal" or exemplary presentations. WASC has not screened the reports and does not endorse any particular report. Visitors to this site should also keep in mind that the WASC expectations are evolving and developmental. Therefore, posted documents may not reflect current or future expectations. More Information
