One of the largest and most diverse in the nation, our Graduate Division offers nine different LLM degrees; the Executive LLM, Master of Studies in Law, and Advanced Certificate in Taxation; and the JSD.
Master of Laws or Specialization?
You will have the freedom to design your own academic experience in the Master of Laws program or one of our eight LLM specializations. In each of our programs, you'll find a smaller community within the larger Law School and faculty directors to guide and inspire you. You can combine any of the LLM degrees with the Advanced Certificate in Law & Business.
