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.

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.
ASU Law also offers the Master of Legal Studies Honors (MLS-H) program, an alternative, conditional path to admission to the JD program. The MLS-H program is designed to give students with strong credentials an opportunity to prove they belong in the Sandra Day O’Connor College of Law JD program.
