MLS计划是一个定制的课程-学生可能会专门研究特定领域或参加各种法律课程，以发展对法律制度的一般理解。研究生和国际计划办公室的顾问与每个学生一起确定适合个人职业或财富目标的最佳课程组合。由于大多数法律课程对MLS学生开放，因此学生能够与杰出的老师一起工作，并与来自世界各地的同学互动。学生必须在线（在攻读学位之前）或在MLS课程的第一学期成功完成《美国法律和方法概论》。此外，我们鼓励学生参加一门传统的第一年法律课​​程，作为理解苏格拉底方法和普通法分析的基础。
The MLS program is a customized curriculum - students may specialize in a particular area or take a broad range of law courses to develop a general understanding of the legal system. Counselors from the Office of Graduate and International Programs work with each student to identify the best combination of courses to fit individual career or enrichment goals. As most law courses are open to MLS students, students are able to work with exceptional faculty and interact with classmates from across the world. Students are required to complete successfully Introduction to US Law and Methods either online (prior to beginning the degree) or in the first semester of the MLS program. Additionally, students are encouraged to enroll in one traditional first-year law course as a basis for understanding the Socratic Method and common law analysis.
