Applicants are eligible to apply to the program if they have earned a bachelor's or master's degree from an accredited four-year college or university in the United States or attained a comparable degree from a foreign institution.
All applicants must submit:
completed MLS application form and application fee
official transcripts from all institutions attended
proof of English proficiency
resume that does not exceed three typed pages
Applicants who have received their bachelor's or master's degree in the U.S. can apply through the MLS FastApp application process, which streamlines the application process and may allow for an offer of conditional admission to the MLS program while the applicant continues to submit any additional requested documentation.
If a decision cannot be made from the FastApp, the Sandra Day O'Connor College of Law Admissions team may request additional information from the applicant, including any or all of the following:
writing sample
explanations to affirmative answers to application questions pertaining to conduct
two letters of recommendation
An applicant whose native language is not English must provide proof of English proficiency regardless of current residency. Applicants should see the Sandra Day O'Connor College of Law website for acceptable TOEFL scores and additional information for foreign-educated applicants.
