Chase Law student
The Master of Legal Studies (MLS) is a degree program designed for individuals interested in developing a better understanding of the law as it affects their careers involving legal or regulatory issues. Students may complete this 30-credit-hour program in 2-3 years part time (day or evening) or in one year full time.

 

A legal education to advance your career

Students in the Master of Legal Studies program complete 30 credit hours of courses, with more than half of the credits in courses they select to support career goals.

Master of Legal Studies students attend classes with Juris Doctor students but are graded according to the ÇÑ×ÓÉçÇø graduate student grading scale.

Credits for this MLS degree are earned primarily in face-to-face classes hosted at Chase College of Law. There are a limited number of online classes offered at Chase that can be taken for credit toward the MLS, but the degree is earned primarily in on-campus classes.
