Overview
The MSL degree can be earned in one academic year (August to May) full-time or two to four years in a flexible part-time schedule.
MSL scholars seek to gain foundational and specialized knowledge of laws and legal systems. Law is a pervasive influence on almost all aspects of life across the globe, but higher education often ill-prepares students and professionals for navigating laws and legal dynamics in business and life. The MSL degree addresses this critical knowledge gap.
