Pettit College of Law named to Best Value Law Schools list

Ohio Northern University’s Pettit College of Law was named to the 2014 Best Value Law Schools list by preLaw Magazine, a National Jurist publication.

This was the eighth time that The National Jurist has published the list. The National Jurist looks at a number of academic and financial variables, including the law school’s price of tuition, student debt accumulation, employment success, bar passage rate and cost of living. Employment is given the greatest weight, 35 percent, because of the recent woes in hiring.

This year’s list shows that it is still possible for students to graduate with less than $100,000 in debt and land a job.
