About Master of Studies in Law
The Master of Studies in Law (MSL) is a new graduate degree program that offers a condensed legal education for those who do not need or want a law degree. It’s designed for mid-career professionals and recent college graduates who want to enhance their career with legal education relevant to their field or interests.
A required introductory course in the first fall semester provides background in the U.S. legal system and the study of law. Otherwise, students will take upper-division law classes related to their interests. There are optional concentrations in Indian Law or in Natural Resources and Environmental Law, and students may take up to 6 hours of graduate-level courses in other departments.
Student Learning Outcomes for the MSL Degree:
- Understand cases decided by courts, statutes passed by legislatures, and regulations issued by administrative agencies.
- Learn how the legal system addresses particular situations.
- Learn legal principles applicable to their job or interests.
- Gain a better understanding of how the law works and how to use it.
