LL.M. Programs

LL.M. Programs

The University of Tulsa College of Law also offers two specialized LL.M. programs, one in American Indian and Indigenous Law and one in American Law for Foreign Lawyers. An LL.M. is an advanced law degree pursued after obtaining a J.D. or the equivalent. For detailed admissions requirements, please see the LL.M. website.

Students who have already obtained a law degree from an A.B.A. approved law school in the United States or a similarly accredited foreign institution, the College of Law offers Master of Law (LL.M.) degrees in American Indian and Indigenous Law and in American Law (exclusively for foreign graduates). These programs require full-time attendance at the College of Law for at least one academic year.

These LL.M. degrees are awarded to students who have successfully completed a minimum of 24 course hours over a one-year period with a minimum cumulative grade point average of 2.0.

LL.M. Program Polices

These policies and regulations are intended to provide graduate law students with important information about the LL.M. in American Indian and Indigenous Law or the LL.M. in American Law for Foreign Graduates.

These regulations are not intended to replace either the TU College of Law Student Handbook or the University Student Handbook. Both of those documents contain important information, including the College of Law Student Honor Code, and graduate law students should be familiar with them.

The University Student Handbook is located at the Student Affairs Website.

The College of Law Handbook is located at the Academic Polices Website.

These LL.M. polices and regulations supplement, and in some cases alter, the rules in the TU College of Law Student Handbook. Any changes are clearly explained in these documents. In all other respects, the TU College of Law Student Handbook is in full force and effect.
