  • Candidates must begin their study in the School of Law prior to substantially completing the requirements for the master’s degree.

Specific course requirements and limitations may be obtained from the Law School Admissions Office.

  • 15 credit hours of course work permitted per semester
  • 3 credit hours may be permitted for a Law School clinical course

Applications

Candidates for this program apply to each school independently and, upon admission, are expected to consult with the Program Director in each school to plan their perspective programs.
