I just graduated from GW Law's National Security & Cybersecurity LLM and I cannot recommend it more enthusiastically. I am a retired Air Force officer and went to law school after retirement to be a public interest attorney. After about 5 years, I decided that I wanted to find a way to combine my military and legal experience and so I applied to GW Law's LLM program as a full-time student.

The curriculum was rigorous but outstanding, drawing instructors from senior levels of the federal government and private practice. Dean Schenck, who heads the program, is a force of nature who will leave no stone unturned to get you the courses you desire and a kick-ass internship to get your foot in the door for a job.

The knowledge I gained in areas such as critical infrastructure protection, cybersecurity, and U.S. technology controls, as well as a federal government internship, got me an in-house cybersecurity/compliance counsel position at a major energy corporation less than two months after completing the program.

Although I did it in 2 semesters, their part-time program is very flexible and I had many working classmates. It is a spectacular program, and I'm glad chose GW Law.
If you have any questions, feel free to ask.

Hi Bob, thanks for your feedback on GULC LLM program, it helps a lot! Could you provide more information on the class size, living condition and overall living expenses? Thanks!

Hi, Class size will depend on the course with the more general courses being larger (medium lecture hall) and more specialized courses with 15-20 persons. I lived in my own apartment across town, but there appeared to be quite a bit of student housing nearby the university, private and school provided. Washington DC can be expensive, but the cultural and social opportunities are great. Also, if you are looking to work in the federal government, there is nowhere else to be.
