Online or in class — you choose
We know that our students are busy. They care for small children, they work demanding jobs and they have unpredictable schedules. That’s why we offer our legal science programs online, providing students with the opportunity to take classes and complete assignments on their schedules, not ours. We also provide a robust support system for our distance learners, and offer ongoing training in the applications that we use to deliver online classes. Students can also take some of their courses online and others at our Minneapolis site or any of our 11 other locations in the upper Midwest.
Programs designed to give you the skills you need for success
Like all our programs, our legal science degrees are developed with the assistance of program advisory committees made up of professionals in their fields. They know the skills that employers are seeking; they ensure that our programs include instruction that develops these skills. These program advisory committees also review our degrees regularly so that we provide up-to-date job training.
Classes taught by professionals in the legal field
When you take a legal science class at GU/MSB, your instructors will be experienced practitioners in the legal industry. They may be attorneys, judges, paralegals or police officers. They know from first-hand experience what you need to learn to be successful. Equally important, they can form the foundation of a valuable professional network.
