Bowen’s Master of Studies in Law program is not accepting applications at this time while we restructure the program.
Students are required to complete Legal Institutions & Methods and two additional law school core curriculum courses. A capstone project must be successfully completed prior to graduation. Remaining courses will be chosen from the law school’s curriculum. With the exception of the Legal Institutions & Methods course, M.S.L. students will attend classes with J.D. students.
M.S.L. students may take a general curriculum or adopt a concentration.
Admitted M.S.L. students are eligible for Bowen’s merit scholarships.
