Applicants to an LLM program should have a first law degree, whether a JD from an accredited U.S. law school or a law degree from a school outside the United States. Applicants having a primary language that is not English are required to submit proof of English proficiency. In certain cases and programs, you may apply to our programs without a first law degree. Please contact an admissions representative to learn more.

Applications are reviewed on a rolling basis, therefore candidates are encouraged to apply as early as possible.

Once you have submitted your application to UConn Law, you will be contacted for an admission interview. This interview will be conducted by phone, video conference, or in person.

Admissions Option 2

U.S. Legal Studies has two required courses: U.S. Law and Legal Institutions and U.S. Law Legal Research and Writing.

Students in U.S. Legal Studies choose from the entire course list, creating a curriculum that meets individual goals. This flexibility encourages students to study new legal areas, as well as to further their specialization in particular subjects.

Certain courses have prerequisites, and students should consult with faculty about their legal backgrounds to determine which courses are required before enrolling.
