For many aspiring professionals intrigued by the complexities of law and policy, the conventional path has always pointed towards the Juris Doctorate (JD). However, an alternative path has emerged that offers an equally compelling blend of knowledge, rigor, and practical applicability — the Master’s of Science in Law (MSL).
Thomas Cinti wasn’t always interested in law — or teaching it, for that matter. In fact, he started in the sciences, but eventually loved the subject so much that he even decided to teach it to others. In much the same way as he found his love for teaching, Thomas also found an appreciation for online learning.
Master’s degrees help you advance in your career and become a more competitive employee — but a traditional degree is often a crippling time and financial commitment. What is the solution for the working professional who still wants to further their education? Become a part-time student.
A public policy career is a career where you can create space for impact. Whether it is working within public interest law or for the federal government, influencing policy in political science, or lobbying for change, public policy careers have the capability to enact lasting change.
