Hi everyone,

I graduated in Switzerland and I'm looking to do an LLM in the USA in 2020. Thing is: it is too short to apply for fall 2019 and I'm not available in spring 2021. I'm therefore looking to do an LLM during spring and fall 2020.

So far I have found three possibilities:
- The University of Berkeley and their LLM Hybrid Option, anyone has some feedback?
- The George Washington University, it seems possible to start in spring, but I am not sure
- Suffolk University, but it does not seem that well recognized, does it?

Do you know any good LLM in Intellectual Property (or an LLM in Arts & Entertainment Law or something in Tech Law) with the possibility to start in spring? I would love to take your recommendation!

Kind regards,

Pat

The Berkeley hybrid option is a bit different from a typical one-year, full-time LLM program. Look into the structure and see how it looks to you.

It does look like GWU's LLM program offers spring admission:

However, you still have plenty of time (relatively speaking) to apply for fall 2019 - For the GW fall intake, for example, the deadline is mid-March.

Thanks for the answer ChickenSoup!

The Berkeley Hybrid option is indeed a bit different and I like the structure, but I don't know if it is as well recognized as a "traditional" full-time LLM.

After further research, it seems that Loyola Los Angeles, Santa Clara and Pepperdine Law also offer an LLM in with spring admission.

Indeed I still have some time but I do not have any TOEFL or IELTS score yet and would like to take time to study to make the best score possible.

Thanks for the help,

Pat
