Degree Programs
Small by design, our programs produce astute and confident lawyers broadly educated in the skills, traditions, and ethics of practice.
JD
In the first year, you're assigned to a group of 40 students with whom you share all your classes. (There's one exception—Legal Research and Writing, where you are in a class of only 20 students.) This approach fosters close relationships with students and professors. During this year you'll cover the basic principles of Anglo-American jurisprudence. In the second and third years, only a few required courses remain. The rest of your coursework will be electives drawn from a wide array of courses, seminars, and clinical experiences. More
LLM in American Law
The LLM Program is designed for international lawyers and students who wish to enhance their legal careers by studying the laws of the United States for one year. The program offers small classes that include American JD and LLM students together to prepare students to return to their home countries, well-versed in American Law. The curriculum consists of requirements, which provide the basics of American jurisprudence while still encouraging students to pursue their individual interests through research and elective coursework.

JD/MBA
Offered jointly by the School of Law and the Babcock Graduate School of Management, the Juris Doctor/Master of Business Administration (JD/MBA) program allows you to combine the three-year law curriculum and the two-year business curriculum to complete both degrees in four years. The first two years are dedicated to the course requirements of both schools. The final two years of the JD/MBA program include other required courses in both programs and interdisciplinary study in areas of special interest at both schools. More
