Incorporating a law degree with a graduate degree in another field is a powerful combination. At Albany Law, we collaborate with other colleges and universities to offer joint degrees in several fields. A joint degree offers greater levels of knowledge and insight, broadens your impact in your field, and can advance your career in many ways.
Advanced Specialization in Law
The LL.M. program
offers several different study options. Candidates may specialize in
government administration and regulation, health law, intellectual
property law, or international law, or may design a course of study other
than those specialized programs.
LL.M. candidates are required
to earn 24 credits in approved courses. Students are strongly encouraged
to earn academic credits, up to a limit of six, by engaging in
faculty-supervised research and writing projects. A minimum GPA of 2.0,
current and cumulative, is required.
Students are expected to
complete their degrees within three years and to be continuously enrolled
(full- or part-time) during fall and spring semesters until all degree
requirements are met.
Courses previously taken toward the J.D.
