Introducing: Northwestern's Master of Science in Law Degree
Northwestern University School of Law introduces a new master’s degree program for STEM-trained individuals: the Master of Science in Law (“MSL”).  Designed especially for students with engineering, science, technology, mathematics, and medical backgrounds, the one-year MSL provides focused business-centered legal training in the areas of intellectual property, entrepreneurship/business law, and regulation.  MSL students will learn how to navigate the legal issues they will confront as scientists, engineers, doctors, and technologists; they are not being trained to be lawyers. 
If you are interested in acquiring skills that will help you expand your professional options, please consider an MSL degree at Northwestern University School of Law.  We offer full- and part-time options.  It is free to apply and we are currently accepting applications for the fall 2014 semester.
Additional information on the MSL program is available at  http://www.law.northwestern.edu/academics/degree-programs/msl/.
