LL.M. Program

We take your education personally.

Loyola offers tailored LL.M degree programs for both international students and U.S. law school graduates seeking to further their education.

Louisiana is the only mixed jurisdiction state in the country, which means that Loyola College of Law is one of just a few schools that can offer coursework in common and civil law. This will provide you with added flexibility in deciding where to practice—whether that’s in Louisiana, around the United States, or almost anywhere in the world. But while you’re in school, you will spend the year living in one of the most international and culturally diverse cities in the country: New Orleans.
