We published a list of the top schools for externship opportunities in our Fall issue of preLaw magazine and the October issue of National Jurist. We used the ratio of field placements to enrollment to rank the top 20 schools — with University of St. Thomas taking top honors. But we errored in that in the chart we listed it as full-time enrollment. While the data was total enrollment, we made the identification error because we had internally been debating whether to use full-time or total enrollment.
The difference, of course, are part-time students who presumably are working full-time and don’t have the opportunity to take on an externship. So, we went back and looked at the numbers using full-time enrollment only. There is no change in the top four, and 19 of the 20 schools are still in the top 20. But Thomas Jefferson rises from 15 to 5 on the chart, and University of Denver rises from 12 to 6. Santa Clara University, another school with a significant part-time enrollment, also rises — from 16 to 8.
