The MSL Program consists of regular law school courses with JD students. Law is a pervasive influence on almost all aspects of life in the United States. Most people's knowledge about law is very limited because the instruction we receive in school, even in college, is very limited. As we progress in various jobs, many of us come into contact with laws and lawyers and have to conduct our careers in ways that require some knowledge of law, but our education about these laws is often very limited. The Master of Studies in Law Program will provide you with an education about how law and the legal process work in general.
Many people think that the law can be known simply by looking it up in the library.
By reading cases decided by courts, statutes passed by legislatures, and regulations issued by administrative agencies, you will learn how to reason about what the law would be in a situation in which there currently is no law or no clear law. The Master of Education in Higher Education Administration degree program is intended to serve those who hold or aspire to hold administrative positions in higher education. The program is specifically designed to prepare administrators rather than professors or theoreticians of higher education. Graduates are working in community colleges, four year colleges and universities, and major research universities in the state, nationally and abroad. Many of these graduates hold faculty positions, as well as a variety of administrative posts including college president, academic vice president and dean, vice president, director of student services, and director of admissions, financial aid, and residence life.
