GRADUATE ADMISSIONS

Degrees and Programs

Full-time LL.M. Programs in New York City and Singapore
Full-time programs in New York begin in the Fall 2012 semester only, and the dual-degree program in Singapore begins in May 2012. Applicants may apply to study in New York City, in Singapore, or in both locations. Scholarship opportunities are available in both New York City and Singapore. Applicants who apply to both locations must indicate their preference between the two locations. The Committee on Graduate Admissions will attempt to honor an applicant’s preference as to location of study and to place admitted LL.M. applicants in their preferred location. If an applicant is admitted to his or her preferred location, the Committee does not guarantee consideration for his or her second-choice location.

Applicants to New York City must choose either the traditional LL.M. or one of the following specializations:

Students enrolled in the dual-degree program in Singapore, also known as NYU@NUS, complete two master’s degrees, the LL.M. in Global Business Law from NYU and another from the National University of Singapore. For the second LL.M. through NUS, applicants must choose whether they wish to pursue their master’s degree with or without a specialization. If they choose to pursue the degree with a specialization they may choose one of the following areas: Asian Legal Studies, Corporate & Financial Services Law, Intellectual Property & Technology Law, International & Comparative Law, or Maritime Law. Prospective dual-degree program students apply only to NYU in order to be considered for NYU@NUS.

Part-time LL.M., E-LL.M. and A.P.C. Programs
Prospective students applying for part-time study must indicate whether they want to be considered for Spring 2012 or Fall 2012 entry (refer to appropriate deadlines). Applicants choose the Executive LL.M. in Taxation, the A.P.C. in Taxation or one of the following on-campus LL.M. programs:

A.P.C. in Taxation applicants must additionally indicate whether they want to concentrate their coursework in Corporate Taxation, Estate Planning, or International Taxation.

Note: Not all classes are offered after regular working hours, and all final exams must be taken at the scheduled time. If a required class or a desired class does not meet in the evening, it is expected that part-time students adjust their work schedules to meet all regular class attendance requirements, and to take final examinations at the scheduled times. Students should not register for classes without clearing the examination schedule with employers.

J.S.D. Program
The Doctor of Juridical Science (J.S.D.), the Law School's most advanced degree, is designed to provide intensive doctoral training to those who intend to pursue a career in academia.

Applicants to the J.S.D. should indicate on the application if they wish to be considered for admission to the full-time LL.M. program in New York City in the event they are not admitted to the J.S.D. degree. Applicants should note that admission to the LL.M. program does not assure admission to J.S.D. candidacy.
