Emory University School of Law's Master of Legal Studies (MLS) is designed for professionals who wish to deepen their legal understanding without becoming lawyers. The 30-credit, fully online program is structured for flexibility, allowing work while studying. Students complete core coursework in legal foundations and can choose concentrations in business law, healthcare law, employment law, or cybersecurity and privacy, with the option to build a custom study plan with electives. The program cultivates legal analysis, research, communication, and problem-solving skills relevant across industries. Admission requires a bachelor's degree; no LSAT, GRE, or law degree is needed. Applicants must submit two letters of recommendation, a personal statement, and complete an evaluative interview. Rolling admissions are offered, with intakes in fall and spring, and decisions usually made within 14 business days.
