The Master of Legal Studies (MLS) graduate degree at CMLAW offers an exciting opportunity to enhance your career credentials by gaining applied legal knowledge without obtaining a law degree, sitting for the bar, or practicing law. An MLS degree can help an employee stand out within an organization or profession as someone who can interact with counsel, protect ideas and organizational assets, assess the need for regulation and work efficiently with changing legislation, such as health care reform and compliance. The MLS program is designed for non-lawyers who work regularly with laws and regulations and could benefit from a greater understanding of the law as it relates to their field in a current or future position. Enrolled students may select from nine tracks including health care, criminal law and cybersecurity, or work with an advisor to design an individualized concentration that fits their career needs. The MLS degree will be awarded upon completion of 30 Semester credit hours.
