Degrees Offered

Penn Law offers the following degrees:

J.D. - Penn Law has a full-time program leading to the J.D., the first professional degree in Law. Applicants have their undergraduate degrees and, oftentimes, advanced degrees in a broad array of disciplines; many have some work experience prior to attending law school. We also, on occasion, have admitted international students who already hold a law degree from outside the United States but who want to also earn a J.D. degree in the United States. We also accept a select group of Penn undergrads who submatriculate, combining their bachelors degree and their J.D.

Graduate Degrees - include the Master of Laws (LL.M.), the Master of Comparative Laws (LL.C.M.), and the Doctor of Juridical Science (S.J.D.). Our graduate students generally are international students who hold a law degree from outside the United States and who wish to become more familiar with aspects of American law and legal institutions. They are lawyers, bankers, judges, business professionals, and recent university graduates who add much to the Penn Law community. They take advanced classes with the J.D. students to further expand their legal expertise.
