The University of Florida Levin College of Law's LL.M. in U.S. Law program caters to international law graduates. This one-year program requires completion of 26 credit hours, offering flexibility to pursue a general legal education or specialize in particular fields.
The curriculum mandates two core courses: (1) Introduction to the U.S. Legal System: Part I (2 credits), and (2) Legal Writing and Research for Comparative Law LL.M. students (2 credits). Participants can select their remaining coursework from the LL.M.-eligible classes within the J.D. program offerings.
Students must have a recognized baccalaureate, graduate or professional degree from a regionally accredited U.S. institution or a comparable degree from an international institution. For applicants with a bachelor’s degree only, a minimum grade point average of B (3.0), calculated from all grades and credits after the semester where the applicant reached 60 semester hours or 90 quarter hours and Graduate Record Examination (GRE) scores that are acceptable to the applicant’s intended academic unit or, for select programs, at least 465 on the Graduate Management Admission Test (GMAT).
For applicants from countries (including Puerto Rico) where English is not the official language, a minimum score on one of these English Language Skills tests: Test of English as a Foreign Language (TOEFL): 550 paper, or 80 Internet; International English Language Testing System (IELTS): 6; Michigan English Language Assessment Battery (MELAB): 77, or documented successful completion of the University of Florida English Language Institute program.
