The LLM Program

The Illinois LLM program is designed to prepare students with or without any prior legal training to excel in their professional careers. Foreign-educated students in the LLM program are introduced to the U.S. legal system and provided the opportunity to specialize in their own area of academic or professional interest. U.S.-trained lawyers can also enhance their legal expertise to meet their professional and career goals in the LLM program.

Read on below to learn more about the LLM program and what makes us unique:

Flexibile Study Options

Students may choose to complete the LLM degree in two or three semesters. The optional third semester can allow a student time to engage in a more intensive program of study, enjoy greater internship opportunities, and have additional time to study for the bar exam.

To offer students additional flexibility, the LLM program may be started in either the fall semester (August) or the spring semester (January).

Customizable Curriculum

Students complete a total of 32 credit hours (typically eight courses) for the LLM degree. With only two required courses (waived or waivable for students with a JD from an ABA-accredited law school), students can customize their LLM program to meet their academic or professional needs while choosing from over 100 courses offered at the College of Law each year. Students may choose to add a concentration to their LLM program, and students interested in learning across disciplines may seek approval to take a select number of University of Illinois courses outside the College of Law.

Bar Examination Eligibility

The Office of Graduate and International Programs offers support to students interested in taking U.S. bar exams and works with individuals to determine their eligibility and the requirements they need to meet. Although a bachelor’s degree in law is not required for admission to the Illinois LLM program, applicants without a bachelor’s in law should be aware that they may not qualify to take a bar examination in the United States, even after completing the Illinois LLM.

Individualized Counseling

Students are provided individualized counseling and advising to assist them in career planning, academic success, and bar eligibility.
