Master of Studies in Law
University of Southern California

Program Details

In today’s dynamic and interconnected world, legal knowledge is a valuable asset across various professions and industries. However, the traditional path to acquiring legal expertise through a Juris Doctor (JD) program may not always align with the career goals or time constraints of individuals outside the legal field. The online Master of Studies in Law (MSL) is a flexible and accessible alternative designed to provide a comprehensive understanding of legal principles without the commitment of a full-time law degree.

There are many advantages to this master’s program, including:

  • Career Support
  • A Collaborative Classroom
  • Synchronous and Asynchronous Classes
  • Accessible Anywhere

This online MSL program goes beyond theoretical knowledge and emphasizes practical application. Through case studies, simulations, and real-world scenarios, students gain hands-on experience applying legal principles to solve complex problems. This practical approach not only enhances students’ understanding of the law but also prepares them to navigate legal issues in their professional roles.
