Designed for business lawyers educated outside the United States, the Graduate Program in Law and Business offers students a unique opportunity to study both business law and management techniques at two of America s leading schools in the fields of law and business. Graduates are awarded an LLM degree from Northwestern University School of Law and a certificate in management from the Kellogg Graduate School of Management, the number 2 business school in the country in the latest U.S. News and World Report rankings.
All classes meet on Northwestern s Chicago campus.
The intensive curriculum consists of upper-level course work at both schools. The law courses emphasize corporate, commercial, and transactional studies, while the Kellogg courses cover introductory and more advanced principles of management, marketing, and finance. Students choose most of their classes from a rich menu of electives so they can develop specializations in both law and business. They study not only with highly qualified colleagues from around the world but also alongside and frequently in teams with American students. Only a small number of students are admitted, allowing each one plenty of opportunity for individual attention and interaction with faculty and classmates.
