Degree Programs

If you want to understand legal principles and apply them to your field of interest, without actually becoming a lawyer, the Master of Legal Studies (MLS) is for you. The MLS is a flexible 30-credit graduate program for those interested in learning about the law, or whose work intersects with the law.

• Offered in the fall and spring
• Full or part-time options
• Online or on campus
• Focus your MLS on popular areas of study
• Or pursue an MLS concurrently with several graduate business degrees at ASU:
• W. P. Carey School of Business
• School of Sustainability
• Walter Cronkite School of Journalism and Mass Communication

In order to be admitted to the MLS program, you must have completed a bachelor's degree from an accredited four-year college or university in the United States or attained a comparable degree from a foreign institution. Graduate school entrance exams (e.g. LSAT, GRE, GMAT) are not required.
