This master’s program features purposefully designed courses exclusively for M.S.L.S. students taught by full-time faculty.
Online courses follow our modality of structured flexibility. Courses are built to be asynchronous, meaning a student can view the materials on their own time when it best suits them. The courses are governed and kept moving at the appropriate pace with due dates for discussions, projects and exercises at the end of each course module.
Courses are set up with the intent of requiring between 15-20 hours per week of work and study.
The program provides as total of 18 online courses with electives in healthcare, securities, financial institutions, and negotiations.
Unique features of the program are 2 one-week intensive summer sessions at Cornell University’s Ithaca NY campus. Students will make two one-week visits to Cornell’s campus where they will meet their classmates and professors in person. The first Ithaca residency includes two intensive courses: Effective Communication Skills and Conducting Legal Research. During the second visit, students will present their Capstone Projects that they’ll complete remotely during second half of program.
All students are required to complete a Capstone Project. This capstone is intended to be both research based as well as professionally grounded in a topic important to the student. This project will act as both a culminating academic as well as a portfolio project for the student.
