Non-J.D. Programs
Master of Legal Studies
Our program will benefit individuals whose careers intersect with the law but who do not need to earn a law degree. The program provides knowledge of the law and problem-solving skills that will enable graduates to more effectively deal with legal matters in their jobs.
Master of Legal Studies and Master of Science in Social Work (MLS/MSSW)
This interdisciplinary program offers individuals interested in social work and law the opportunity to obtain graduate degrees in both programs in two academic years (including summers), rather than the three years needed if pursued separately. The program consists of an integrated curriculum specifically designed for those who are interested in acquiring the knowledge and skills pertinent to both disciplines.

The certificate is available to individuals who are 1) pursuing other academic programs at the master’s or doctoral levels, or 2) post-baccalaureate and enrolled solely in a graduate certificate program.
