The Seton Hall MLS empowers professionals with the ability to effectively analyze and respond to the myriad financial compliance issues they may encounter daily, due to the courses that explore some of the following: - Financial Crimes Compliance - Bankruptcy and Creditors Rights - Financial Privacy Law - Introduction to Corporate Finance - Regulating Funds and Investment Advisors ### **GRADUATE SCHOOL SHOULD MAKE LIFE BETTER, NOT HARDER.** Seton Hall Law carefully structured the MLS to provide maximum flexibility and customization, allowing you to align your learning experience with your career goals and interests.
