Temple vs Maryland evening program
I work in healthcare during the day and am pursuing a JD as a second career. I'm planning to focus on healthcare law. Temple and Maryland both have evening options. I like the healthcare track that Maryland offers, but I would like to live in Philly eventually. I deff don't want to be boxed into Baltimore. Thoughts?

well one will box you into the baltimore area and one will box you into philly. If those options don't sound great, reconsider the jd.

It won't be feasible to pursue these programs in a city other than the one you work in. So if you work in Bmore (or nearby), choose Maryland; If you work in Philly or nearby, choose Temple.

Re: Temple vs Maryland evening program
I also want to add that I can work in one city or the other. I'm looking at positions with tuition reimbursement in both cities. My current employer doesn't have tuition reimbursement.RaceJudicata wrote:It won't be feasible to pursue these programs in a city other than the one you work in.

That's really the only question you need to answer. Neither school is particularly good, but if you're going for free (and especially if you have a standing job offer once you get your JD), then just pick the one where you want to end up living. The biggest mistake you can make in this situation is going to one of these schools and thinking that the degree will be portable to another state.

Re: Temple vs Maryland evening program
Particularly if you are interested in a specialized program - i think op mentioned something about a health law program. In my experience, these programs are a nice marketing ploy, but don't mean much in substance. Most employers aren't going to care if you took some classes and got a "health law certificate" versus another student who took health law classes (or whatever type of courses) and wasn't rewarded with some "certificate."cavalier1138 wrote:But I thought you wanted to be in Philly...angelumpkers wrote:I also want to add that I can work in one city or the other.
