General Legal Studies

MASTER OF LEGAL STUDIES TRACK

Program Description

Over the years, job seekers have earned MBA degrees to fast-track their career advancement. The problem is that so many MBAs have been awarded that the market is saturated, making it harder for candidates to stand out. Over the last several years, increasing litigation and governmental regulations have created a need for employees who understand the law that often goes unmet. The MLS not only gives you many skills taught in MBA programs but also prepares you to navigate your company through potentially dangerous legal waters. The General Legal Studies track provides a well-rounded view of law in various fields.
