In addition to full- and part-time on-campus schedules, we offer a blended option that brings you to campus a couple of times a semester and lets you spend the rest of the time completing your work online, with a schedule that you control entirely each week. Once you are enrolled, you can switch between options if you need more flexibility.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p>We were the first to offer blended-learning options that have already allowed hundreds of students access to legal education and experience that was previously out of reach.<\/p>\n<p>We do the online portion of your legal education right\u2014on your time. You fit your online studies into your schedule and live the law in your concentrated time on campus. We work hard to give you the same access to activities and work experiences that our on-campus students receive.<\/p>\n<p>Most blended-learning students are established in careers they want to keep and enhance. They are doing that while studying at an ABA-approved law school that started redefining legal education in 1900. And they are building a nationwide network of colleagues at the same time.<\/p>\n<p><a class=\"button button-info\" href=\"https:\/\/mitchellhamline.edu\/academics\/j-d-enrollment-options\/blended-learning-at-mitchell-hamline\/\" target=\"\">Blended Learning at Mitchell Hamline&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/a> <a class=\"button button-info btn-info\" href=\"https:\/\/mitchellhamline.edu\/academics\/blended-learning-semester-by-semester\/\" target=\"\">Blended Learning: Semester by Semester&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/a> <a class=\"button button-arrow btn-success\" href=\"https:\/\/mitchellhamline.edu\/sample-blended-class\" target=\"_blank\">Blended Learning Sample Class&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/a><\/p>\n\n\t\t<style type=\"text\/css\">\n\t\t\t#gallery-1 {\n\t\t\t\tmargin: auto;\n\t\t\t}\n\t\t\t#gallery-1 .gallery-item {\n\t\t\t\tfloat: left;\n\t\t\t\tmargin-top: 10px;\n\t\t\t\ttext-align: center;\n\t\t\t\twidth: 100%;\n\t\t\t}\n\t\t\t#gallery-1 img {\n\t\t\t\tborder: 2px solid #cfcfcf;\n\t\t\t}\n\t\t\t#gallery-1 .gallery-caption {\n\t\t\t\tmargin-left: 0;\n\t\t\t}\n\t\t\t\/* see gallery_shortcode() in wp-includes\/media.php *\/\n\t\t<\/style>\n\t\t<div data-carousel-extra='{\"blog_id\":4,\"permalink\":\"https:\\\/\\\/mitchellhamline.edu\\\/admission\\\/earn-a-j-d-from-anywhere-in-the-world\\\/\"}' id='gallery-1' class='gallery galleryid-2038 gallery-columns-1 gallery-size-full'><dl class='gallery-item'>\n\t\t\t<dt class='gallery-icon landscape'>\n\t\t\t\t<a href='https:\/\/mitchellhamline.edu\/admission\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2020\/02\/Blended-Learning-map.png'><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" data-attachment-id=\"2174\" data-orig-file=\"https:\/\/mitchellhamline.edu\/admission\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2020\/02\/Blended-Learning-map.png\" data-orig-size=\"1867,1080\" data-comments-opened=\"0\" data-image-meta=\"{&quot;aperture&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;credit&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;camera&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;caption&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;created_timestamp&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;copyright&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;focal_length&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;iso&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;shutter_speed&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;title&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;orientation&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;keywords&quot;:&quot;Array&quot;}\" data-image-title=\"Map of Mitchell Hamline blended-learning students and graduates\" data-image-description=\"&lt;p&gt;Map of Mitchell Hamline blended-learning students and graduates&lt;\/p&gt;\n\" data-medium-file=\"https:\/\/mitchellhamline.edu\/admission\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2020\/02\/Blended-Learning-map-300x174.png\" data-large-file=\"https:\/\/mitchellhamline.edu\/admission\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2020\/02\/Blended-Learning-map-1024x592.png\" width=\"1867\" height=\"1080\" src=\"https:\/\/mitchellhamline.edu\/admission\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2020\/02\/Blended-Learning-map.png\" class=\"attachment-full size-full\" alt=\"Map of Mitchell Hamline blended-learning students and graduates\" srcset=\"https:\/\/mitchellhamline.edu\/admission\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2020\/02\/Blended-Learning-map.png 1867w, https:\/\/mitchellhamline.edu\/admission\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2020\/02\/Blended-Learning-map-300x174.png 300w, https:\/\/mitchellhamline.edu\/admission\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2020\/02\/Blended-Learning-map-1024x592.png 1024w, https:\/\/mitchellhamline.edu\/admission\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2020\/02\/Blended-Learning-map-768x444.png 768w, https:\/\/mitchellhamline.edu\/admission\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2020\/02\/Blended-Learning-map-1536x889.png 1536w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1867px) 100vw, 1867px\" \/><\/a>\n\t\t\t<\/dt><\/dl><br style=\"clear: both\" \/>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\n<div class=\"lead\">\n<div class=\"alert alert-primary\" role=\"alert\"><span class=\"badge badge-pill badge-primary\">1,757<\/span>\u00a0blended-learning students enrolled since 2015<\/div>\n<div class=\"alert alert-info\" role=\"alert\"><span class=\"badge badge-pill badge-info\">769<\/span>\u00a0blended-learning graduates<\/div>\n<div class=\"alert alert-warning\" role=\"alert\"><span class=\"badge badge-pill badge-warning\">92%<\/span> employment rate for blended-learning graduating class of 2022<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"card-deck\">\n<div class=\"card bg-light\">\n<div class=\"embed-max-wrapper\">\n<div class=\"embed-container\"><iframe loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/player.vimeo.com\/video\/361823275?dnt=1&amp;app_id=122963\" width=\"800\" height=\"450\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"autoplay;
