Master of Laws Admissions​

The Master of Laws (LLM) program admission process involves a careful review of each applicant’s background, experience, and goals. We accept applications on a rolling basis, with a priority and final application deadline for both terms.

To be eligible to apply, the applicant must present evidence of:

  • Graduation from a school of law approved by the American Bar Association; or
  • Admission to the Bar in a foreign jurisdiction, or of a state in the United States; or
  • Graduation from a faculty of law in a foreign country whose educational authority has authorized that faculty to issue degrees in law.

We also accept applications through LSAC.

Priority Deadline

  • Application Deadline: December 8, 2025
  • Start Date: January 12, 2026
