Our Master of Laws (LLM) degree, established in 1951, is diverse and deep. It can deliver the development you're looking for, whether your focus is health, environment, human rights, business, technology, tax, or something else entirely.
We offer two options for the LLM program. The first is a combination of a thesis plus three courses. The second is a program of six courses, all of which require substantial research papers.
You may choose to do either of these options on a full-time (usually one year) or a part-time (usually two or more years) basis.
Thesis option:
Students usually complete the program's three courses during the first and second terms (September to April) of the academic year before completing a supervised thesis over the course of the summer (May to August).
Coursework option:
The coursework LLM option includes six courses that each conclude with a substantial paper. This version of our LLM normally runs from September to May.
Before deciding on the thesis or coursework option, candidates who are contemplating future doctoral studies should note that some doctoral programs require the completion of a Master of Laws degree which includes a thesis.
