Hey, I have been reading a lot about Online LLM programs and they're really intriguing because I would like to pursue an LLM but I can't take a year away from work / family.

However there seems to be a lot of providers out there and many of them are quite ubiquitous through ads etc.

Is there any unbiased ranking or list of the top *reputable* providers of Online LLM programs out there somewhere?

Any advise would be welcome!

I will start an online LL.M. at The University of Edinburgh in September. It's a traditional and prestigious university, and so far I am very impressed with their attention to details. It was the best university I found that offers a fully online LLM. There are many subject options. Mine is the IT Law LLM, and here on the LLM Guide website, it is ranked as one of the best programs in this area.
Hope this helps!

In general the quality and ranking of the overall law school will reflect on their online programs.

Those 'unknown' schools that are ubiquitous through advertisements may not always be the best choice.

But you know for example that the Executive LLM in Tax from NYU will be strong, just because hey it's NYU. Same with the Online LLM from USC. Strong school, strong program.

Across the pond you have some of the London schools (QMUL, KCL) now in the online LLM game as well. And of course there's the longstanding University of London External Programmes (or maybe they're just branded University of London now I'm not sure) offering.
