International Students

We invite students from around the world to apply to our Master of Legal Studies Program, where they can get an in-depth look at the US legal system and learn the skills needed to make better business decisions. This page, which should be used in conjunction with our admission page, outlines important information for prospective students from abroad.

If you have any questions, please contact an enrollment counselor at (404) 727-6802.

F1 Visa

Because our MLS is strictly a part-time degree program, it does not qualify students for an F1 visa.
