College of Law
to Launch Master of Studies in Law Program Fall 2014
Special to The Truth
Do you want to learn more about law and the legal system,
but you don’t plan to practice law? Do you want to earn a
degree in law, but you don’t want to devote three years of
full-time study to obtain a juris doctor? Do you want a
master’s degree in a fascinating field?
If you answer yes to any of these questions, the Master of
Studies in Law Program at The University of Toledo College
of Law may be just right for you.
The College of Law is accepting applications to its Master
of Studies in Law Program for classes starting fall 2014.
The Master of Studies in Law Program is designed primarily
for professionals in a variety of career settings who could
benefit from a better understanding of law and the legal
system but do not want to practice law. Master of studies in
law students will gain a solid foundation in the law and can
enhance their careers, without investing the equivalent of
three years of study to obtain a juris doctor.
“Law touches almost every field of human endeavor,” said
Daniel J. Steinbock, dean of the College of Law, “and
knowledge of it can be invaluable for many professionals, as
can the analytic skills honed in a law school.”
Students earn the master of studies in law degree by
successfully completing 30 credit hours. Full-time students
can complete the program in two semesters, and part-time
students are welcome to arrange a workable program for
themselves. Day and evening courses are available, making it
convenient to attain a master of studies in law degree while
working.
After one introductory course, master of studies in law
students complete classes alongside juris doctor students,
although they are graded on a different scale. Master of
studies in law students may tailor their studies to
concentrate in a specific area of law, including health
care, human resources, criminal justice, business and many
more.
The Master of Studies in Law Program can benefit those who
work with lawyers, whose work is governed by laws or
regulations, or who work in fields in which knowledge of the
law provides an edge. Although designed primarily to enhance
existing careers, the program also can help re-direct and
launch career paths.
Master of studies in law classes will begin in August.
