LL.M. - MASTER OF LAWS
How to earn the LL.M. degree?
Students must earn 22 credit hours to complete the program. Students, who take all courses offered, may earn additional credits at no extra cost. The program comprises three parts:
- At least six credits earned in three courses taken within the International Business and Trade Law Program offered by CUA in Cracow in mid-June through the end of July in the first summer in which students are enrolled in the program. In this program, LL.M. students study with American law students and students from several law schools in Poland.
- At least nine credits earned in the School of American Law held at Jagiellonian University during the academic year between October and May.
- Six to seven credits earned during a two-month stay in Washington from mid-May through the end of July during the second summer that students are enrolled in the program. Students enroll in one three or four-credit classroom substantive law course. In addition, students receive one-credit for a course in advanced legal research and writing, which assists them with the preparation of a required directed research paper, for which the student receives an additional two credits.
