Since 1972, the Master of Science in Legal Administration (MSLA) Program has been educating students on managing and operating a law firm, court, or legal organization. The MSLA degree provides students with business knowledge, skills, and abilities to run a law firm, court, or legal organization.
To accommodate the needs of our students, courses are offered both online and in-class, with all in-class courses scheduled in the evening. Students may attend full-time, and graduate in one year; or part-time, and graduate in two to four years. Our students come from diverse backgrounds and have varying interests: some are working professionals, while others are students interested in entering the field of legal administration.
The mission of MSLA at the University of Denver is to improve the quality of justice worldwide through the education and training of the profession that manages, operates, and leads courts, law firms, and legal organizations. To this end, we offer the following programs:
