COURSES THAT ADDRESS CHANGE.

In recent years, corporate scandals, accounting fraud, and the collapse of major financial institutions led to the creation of more stringent financial regulatory laws and compliance measures. 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. Students may complete the 31-credits completely online, or partially online and in-person at our campus in Newark, New Jersey.

The Master of Legal Studies can be completed in just two years on a part-time schedule and does not have a residency requirement. Applicants do not have to take the GRE or LSAT.

BE THE BEST IN YOUR FIELD.

 Along with career advancement and return on investment, many graduates of the legal studies program report satisfaction with their increased knowledge and skills. A significant number experience promotions and a transition into leadership positions.
