Law students are taught in classes ranging in enrollment from ten to 120. Senior law faculty, many of whom hold chaired professorships and are nationally recognized legal scholars, teach first-year classes as often as younger faculty, emphasizing the law school's philosophy that the utmost professionalism, concern and teaching skill should be afforded to all law students regardless of the level of legal study. Master of Laws Students possessing a J.D. degree may pursue the Masters of Law degree from the University of Georgia. The LL.M. degree is awarded upon the successful completion of 27 semester hours of courses, research and thesis. The first year of law alternates with the first year of masters level business courses.
Students then take courses in both the law and business school for the remaining two years.
The final two y ears are devoted to course work in both areas. In addition, students may be enrolled concurrently in the Juris Doctor degree program of the School of Law and other graduate degree programs, e.g., Master of Accountancy, Master of Public Administration, Master of Arts. Admission to one degree progra m is independent of admission to another degree program.
