M.L.S., Master of Legal Studies

“The M.L.S. degree with a focus in Indian law was a perfect fit for my career and for my employer’s needs. As Senior Land Manager for the world’s largest cement producer, I negotiate many sand and gravel leases in Indian Country. I was not looking to take the Bar, and the M.L.S. degree provided me the opportunity to learn from the leading experts in Indian Law.” (Read more in Management Today)

Do you want to learn about the law, but not practice law? If so, the Master of Legal Studies (M.L.S.) may be right for you. 

The Master of Legal Studies is a unique, 30-credit graduate program offered to established professionals or academicians whose work intersects with the law. MLS students learn the foundations of U.S. law and study the process of legal analysis in the context of the cases, laws, and regulations related to their specific career interests.  With approximately 10 credits of required coursework, MLS students choose the remaining 20 credits of electives to customize their studies to the area of law relevant to their current career.

Contact MLSASU@asu.edu for more information about the M.L.S. program.
