法学硕士

法学硕士（LLM）是一个为期一年的学位课程，可为学生提供超越其第一法学学位的更深入学习机会。请注意
The Master of Laws (LLM) is a one-year degree program that provides students with an opportunity for more profound study beyond their first law degree. (Please note: the LLM program is an academic program and is not designed to meet National Committee on Accreditation [NCA] requirements.) The LLM program can be thesis intensive (with either a shorter or longer thesis) or coursework only. The longer thesis option is for law students who have demonstrated a strong potential for advanced research and writing in a common law system. The shorter thesis option and coursework-only formats are for law students who wish to specialize in a specific area of law or explore common law at an advanced level.<br>Within the LLM program, students also have the option of applying to pursue one of four areas of concentration: Business Law, Criminal Law, Health Law, Ethics and Policy, or Legal Theory. Students accepted into a concentration will receive a designation on their transcript. The number of places available for students in each of the areas of concentration will be limited, and acceptance into the concentrations will be on a competitive basis.
