The Program

We offer three LL.M programs:  The LL.M in American Legal Practice, LL.M. in Cyber Law and Data Privacy, and LL.M in Healthcare and Pharmaceutical Compliance.

The LL.M. in American Legal Practice is a 24-credit on-campus program that professionals who hold law degrees from accredited institutions outside of the U.S. complete in a single academic year. LL.M. students can focus their studies in designated track options or work with faculty to develop an individualized course of study suited to their own professional goals.

Our LL.M. co-op externship allows students who have a strong facility in English and have demonstrated success in the classroom to work inside a corporation, a law firm, a judicial office or a government agency, under the supervision of an attorney.

Our flexible curriculum allows LL.M students to build a personalized curriculum taking advantage of the law school's diverse and dynamic course offerings OR to pursue one of the following track options:
* Business and Commercial Law
* Intellectual Property Law
* International Law
* U.S. Bar Exam Preparation

The LLM in Health Care and Pharmaceutical Compliance is offered both on-campus and online. This 24-credit specialized degree that lets you delve deep into issues around compliance in the health care and the pharmaceutical industry, with the curriculum highlighting topics like food and drug law and the regulation of pharmaceutical and medical device sales and marketing.

The LL.M in Cyber Law & Data Privacy is offered both on-campus and online. This 24-credit specialized degree fills a knowledge gap for lawyers looking to expand their familiarity with this rapidly-growing area.

The University

Consistently ranked by U.S. News and World Report among the nation's Top 10 "up and coming" universities, Drexel University is a comprehensive research university that includes schools of medicine, business, engineering, computing, public health, nursing and entrepreneurship, as well as law.

Founded in 1891, Drexel is an undisputed national leader in experiential education, and it was among the nation's first major post-secondary institutions to integrate hands-on education into its curriculum.

The student body features 3,000 international students from more than 100 countries, who take part in a dynamic and lively culture on campus and in the community. The university offers numerous services and forms of support to international students:

* The English Language Center, which offers intensive English courses focusing on written and oral communication as well as advising year round
* International Student Orientation
* American Culture Series Workshops

The Law School

The Thomas R. Kline School of Law puts hands-on learning at the center of its curriculum through externship, clinical and community-based programs.

We enable foreign-educated lawyers to learn from faculty who are committed to integrating insights about legal practice into their teaching. The U.S. News and World Report has recognized the law school by ranking its Legal Writing program 13th in the nation, its Clinical Programs 30th in the nation and its Health Law program 12th in the nation. The Kline School of Law offers small classes and personalized education in a close and supportive community. And most importantly, the program gives LL.M. students an opportunity to gain firsthand legal experience through co-op externships in corporate offices, law firms, government agencies and the courts.

The Faculty

Kline School of Law professors are nationally and internationally recognized scholars and innovative teachers who have practiced law in domestic and international arenas. They are graduates of the most widely recognized American law schools, including Yale, Harvard, Columbia, New York University, Northwestern, Duke, the University of Chicago and UCLA. Several practiced at major American and international law firms in New York, Washington, Chicago, Philadelphia and Silicon Valley.

They are as passionate about teaching and helping their students build professional skills as they are about the law.

LL.M. students must have completed an undergraduate or graduate degree in law.

All applicants must submit:
* a personal essay expressing their interest in the program
* two letters of recommendation
* an academic transcript verified by the LSDAS or an external service
* TOEFL of at least an 88 or IELTS score of 6.5 or higher (international students only)

Location

Philadelphia, the second-largest city on the East Coast, is within a two-hour train ride of New York City and Washington, D.C. The Drexel campus is located adjacent to the University of Pennsylvania in a lively neighborhood called University City, yet it's so close to downtown that students can walk to their externship offices in Center City.

An affordable city, Philadelphia offers a huge variety of galleries, museums, performing arts venues, athletic arenas, historic sites and the nation's largest municipal park. The populations features a wide range of nationalities and ethnic groups, including Chinese, Vietnamese, Mexican, Dominican, Colombian, Liberian, Nigerian, Trinidadian, Jamaican, Haitian, Egyptian, Iraqi, Saudi and Syrian communities.

Philadelphia's nearby International House sponsors many multicultural programs and activities in the arts and humanities.

Student Life

LL.M. students take part in the life of the law school, which hosts dozens upon dozens of discussions, conferences and other events every semester. The events are often sponsored by student organizations with interests in business law, intellectual property law, international law and other topics. They provide an additional opportunity to learn more about legal topics, professional practice and career strategies, while enabling students to socialize with other members of the law school community.
