Program Overview

Gain In-Depth Legal Knowledge to Advance Your Career

The Master of Legal Studies (MLS) is a program for students who want an in-depth understanding of the legal principles necessary to navigate complex business operations, public policy, government regulations, and compliance and risk management.

The purpose of the MLS degree program is to educate professionals who work in areas related to the law by providing them with general knowledge of law and specific legal knowledge in their field of interest.

The MLS General Studies track is specifically tailored to students’ area of interest, depending on their professional goals and learning objectives.

Our students and alumni use their legal training in a variety of industries and legal settings, without pursuing a traditional law degree to become a licensed attorney.*

The program is designed for students who have an interest in law, work with legal issues, would like to research the law, or who are seeking ways to expand their career opportunities. It is not intended to train students to become lawyers, nor to prepare them for the bar exam.

Examples of professional or academic areas students may wish to focus their studies include environmental law, labor and employment, intellectual property and many more.
