MBA & Grasp’s Information 2022: USC Gould Faculty – Grasp of Research in Legislation

Six years ago, USC’s Gould School of Law launched its online Master of Studies in Law (MSL) degree. Today, the innovative program is redefining excellence in online learning, and has helped scores of students expand their business expertise with an essential legal education.

Since 2016, the MSL program has drawn non-lawyer professionals from a diverse range of industries and organizations — spanning the business sector, finance, media, entertainment, human resources and health care, among many other fields. With its career-focused approach, the MSL provides foundational skills and knowledge on legal issues directly related to students’ areas of work.

 

Benefits that set the MSL apart

Offered by USC Gould (ranked among the top 20 law schools nationwide), the MSL program offers the convenience of completing the degree 100% online, and the flexibility to study part-time – an ideal format to balance with work schedules. Students are supported by a team of experienced advisors who provide one-on-one guidance, from course selection to career development.

Courses are taught by dedicated and distinguished faculty, including top practitioners; and the online experience features small class sizes that allow for greater student-instructor interaction.

In addition, no LSAT or GRE test is required; and no prior law degree is required either. Scholarships are considered for all applicants. Beyond the classroom, students gain access to the global Trojan Family network, which includes connections to more than 14,000 USC Gould alumni.

 

Courses that meet your interests

MSL students can tailor their educational experience with an industry-specific certificate, which can be completed at no additional cost, as part of the MSL program.

Certificates include: Business Law; Entertainment Law and Industry; Human Resources Law and Compliance; Privacy Law and Cybersecurity; Compliance; Financial Compliance; and Health Care Compliance.
