Graduate Program
The Law Center offers, in addition to the Juris Doctor degree, the following graduate degree programs.
- Master of Laws (individualized program/general studies)
- Master of Laws in Global Health Law
- Master of Laws in International Legal Studies
- Master of Laws in Securities and Financial Regulation
- Master of Laws in Taxation
- Master of Laws in Advocacy, for students who complete a Clinical Teaching Fellowship
- Master of Studies in Law
- Doctor of Juridical Science (S.J.D.)
The Law Center also offers the following Certificates to students enrolled in a Law Center LL.M. program:
- Certificate in Employee Benefits Law
- Certificate in Estate Planning
- Certificate in International Human Rights Law
- Certificate in National Security Law
- Certificate in World Trade Organization (WTO) Studies
The Certificates in Employee Benefits Law and Estate Planning, unlike the other Certificates, are open to students who are not enrolled in an LL.M. program but who were admitted separately to these Certificate programs.
The S.J.D., the LL.M. in Advocacy, and the LL.M. programs for international students on student visas require full-time enrollment. Otherwise, the graduate program of instruction is designed both for full-time and part-time students.
Many graduate courses are offered in the evening. Therefore, a student completing a program on a full-time basis should be prepared for some time conflicts between courses. The Law Center’s Summer session offerings are limited, and most students are able to schedule at most 2 or 4 academic credits during the Summer session.
