The Law School's graduate programs provide opportunities for advanced study, individual research, and specialization leading to the degree of Master of Laws (LL.M.) in Taxation, Estate Planning, Comparative Law, Inter-American Law, International Law, Ocean and Coastal Law, and Real Property Development.
The number of credits and years required to earn a graduate degree depend upon the particular course of study. With the approval of the director of the selected graduate program, a student may transfer credits for graduate-level work from another accredited law school if the work was completed within four years prior to transfer (two years in the case of the LL.M. in taxation) and the student successfully completes one semester of graduate study at this Law School.
Graduate degrees are awarded to qualified students who have completed the required credits with a minimum average of C+. Candidates engaged in outside employment for more than 15 hours per week may not enroll for more than 6 credits per semester without the approval of the director of their respective graduate program. |
