Ad Hoc Study Abroad

For various reasons, some Penn Law students are seeking experiences at unique institutions or destinations, and therefore request to study abroad at non-partnered law schools. When proposing an “ad-hoc” program, applicants must verify that the quality of the coursework is comparable in rigor and classroom minutes to a semester at Penn Law. Financial arrangements work a bit differently for ad-hoc programs; these students are assessed a “non-matriculation fee” by Penn Law in addition to the overseas institution’s tuition. Please read Study Abroad Guidelines for additional details.

Some examples of successful ad-hoc petitions have included:
