The Online Juris Master is a 30-credit-hour master's in legal studies that can be completed on a part-time basis. The program is intended for graduates and professionals working in highly regulated industries whose careers intersect with the law but do not intend to become attorneys.
Our career-focused curriculum offers a unique opportunity for professionals to gain a comprehensive understanding of the legal and regulatory frameworks governing their industries. Students learn how to effectively strategize for, identify, and understand potential legal and regulatory hazards, while implementing intelligent risk management programs and determining when legal counsel is needed.
Our customizable degree affords non-lawyers the opportunity to build legal knowledge within one of the following concentrations:
- Cybersecurity, Privacy, and Technology Risk Management
- Employment Law and HR Risk Management
- Financial Regulation and Compliance
- Health Care Regulation
- Legal Risk Management, Contracting, and Compliance
Students are required to take foundational courses in Contracts, Torts, Legislation and Regulation, and Regulatory Compliance.

Each concentration has a menu of advanced course offerings to afford students a multi-faceted understanding of the laws impacting those areas.
