Master of Global Management With Concentration in Legal Studies

Program Overview

Building on the No. 1-ranked MGM degree (Times Higher Education/Wall Street Journal), the concentration in global legal studies delivers experiential learning and skill-building in global management and legal analysis --- all in demand among multinational corporations, international nonprofit organizations, governments and nongovernmental organizations around the world.

The MGM program in global management with a concentration in global legal studies is designed for students with a desire to work in areas requiring knowledge of global legal issues but who may not want to be lawyers. Other students may use this concentration as an introduction to legal studies before pursuing law school. In this program, students gain transdisciplinary global management and legal expertise that open doors in multiple sectors within organizations operating around the world. This concentration is offered in collaboration with the Sandra Day O'Connor College of Law: https://law.asu.edu/.

The first step in understanding and applying laws is developing an understanding of basic legal principles and then using those principles to identify and analyze relevant legal issues. The foundational courses of the Master of Global Management with a concentration in global legal studies lead to mastery of the relevant legal principles while developing legal analysis skills, mainly through case briefings, such as identifying a particular case's legal issue, articulating the legal rule, discussing the court's analysis and concluding. These legal analysis skills are tested on final exams in the foundational courses through hypothetical fact scenarios. Students gain and master the ability to understand legal principles --- the basis of legal analysis --- and to apply them in their field of interest.

Thunderbird School of Global Management has produced unique leaders for more than 70 years, leaders in every sector capable of tackling the world's greatest challenges. The alumni network comprises 45,000 graduates and 170 chapters around the globe.
