Overview
M.S.L. candidates are welcome from a variety of backgrounds and experience levels. Students who wish to apply to the program must have received a bachelor’s degree from an accredited institution by the time they enroll in the program. Candidates must also submit a standardized test score such as the LSAT, GRE, GMAT or MCAT. Graduates of the program will acquire a working knowledge of the legal rules and principles affecting their area of interest, but will not be eligible to take the bar examination or to practice law.
The programme
The M.S.L. degree is awarded upon the successful completion of 30 credit hours of course work. The program can be completed in one year for full-time students, or up to three years for part-time students. The students must begin their course work in the Fall Semester of each year and must take a 3-hour introductory course on the American legal system. The remaining course work will consist of classes relevant to the student’s profession or area of interest chosen from the law school’s extensive course offerings.
Law is everywhere – it touches every aspect of our social, political, and business lives. Whether you are a recent college graduate ready to embark on a career or a professional seeing to enhance career opportunities, knowledge of the legal principles affecting your area of interest is essential. The M.S.L. program will help students not only gain specific knowledge, but will develop the critical reading and analysis skills necessary to solve problems in today’s challenging and changing professional settings.
