FLEXIBLE CURRICULUM

With only four requirements—three required courses, along with a major research and writing project—students are able to personalize their studies. Our M.J. program faculty and staff work with each student to create a customized plan of study. You’ll also be able to reach outside the law school to find relevant courses in other schools. For those working while in the M.J. program, the part-time option and morning or late afternoon courses allow students to balance career, study and involvement in the law school community. Students can participate in experiential learning, taking advantage of the region’s many cutting-edge businesses or non-profits to complete an externship.
