Legal and Ethical Studies (M.A.)

Prepare yourself for law school, and explore your interests in law from a variety of perspectives.

Tailor your studies to your interests and goals, and enjoy flexibility not just in scheduling but in how you approach your studies, leaving you room to explore the facets of the law that most interest you.

Explore how the law works in practice, with special emphasis on the application of ethical principles in a legal context.

This program's two different paths allow you to:

  • study law from a broad, humanistic perspective, delving into the social, historical and philosophical dimensions of law and immersing yourself in a highly academic, graduate liberal arts education
  • prepare to apply to law school or to pursue a career that requires substantive legal knowledge and skills.
