A new way to enhance your career.
The Master of Science in Law (MSL) is a degree for professionals who want to know more about the intersection of law and regulation with the technical, scientific or administrative demands of their chosen fields.
The MSL’s curriculum was developed exclusively for this degree; it is new and robust. In addition to classes and seminars, students will pursue practical projects directly related to challenges they are likely to encounter in their professions under the guidance of distinguished practitioners.
The MSL has been approved by the Maryland Higher Education Commission and the University System of Maryland.
Specialized education.
The MSL is a part-time, 30-credit, two-year, evening program intended to be completed in four semesters at the University of Maryland, College Park. Students must choose one of three specializations.

- Health Care Law: The Affordable Care Act, HIPAA, Medicaid fraud, privacy and revenue cycle management are among the topics to be covered.
- Patent Law: Offers grounding in a range of intellectual property issues needed to work successfully with patents or prepare to become a registered patent agent.
