LL.M. & Certificate Dates & Deadlines
Although the regular application deadlines have passed, we will continue to accept applications for all programs on a rolling basis. Please note if you are an international student, you are advised to apply by April 15 at the latest to allow enough time to apply for a student visa.
Because of the large number of applications we receive and our rolling admissions system, it is to your advantage to complete your application as early as possible in the application cycle. Please note that applications will not be reviewed until all required documentation has been received.
If you are applying for a Certificate alongside a full LL.M. degree program, please refer to the LL.M. dates and deadlines.
