The University of Cincinnati College of Law’s Master of Laws (LLM) in U.S. Law program offers a nationally recognized education that’s highly customizable and achievable in less than a year. In addition to earning your LLM degree, there’s also the potential of qualifying to transfer into our JD program. Our program aims to immerse you in both American law and academics.Our 24-credit LLM program can be completed in as little as nine months, although some students decide to spend up to two academic years in the program for a more convenient schedule.The Business Law Concentration for LLM students provides a relevant degree focus in the business and corporate law area, while providing for better professional branding in future pursuits of the students.The coursework is similar to the Corporate Law Concentration for JD students but is adjusted to reflect the shorter duration of study and the fact that LLM students are not required to take the 1L courses.LLM students can complete the degree in 24 credit hours. Two three-credit classes are standard LLM requirements: Legal Research and Writing for LLM Students and U.S. Legal System. The concentration would add three additional required courses. Furthermore, a student would have to take at least one additional course from the business law curriculum elective list below (“elective”).
