LLM IN U.S. LAW
The LLM in U.S. Law at Chase is designed solely for internationally trained lawyers and law program graduates who have earned at least a first law degree outside the United States.
The LLM in United States Law program has one required course as an introduction to the American law school style of instruction and to the U.S. legal system. Students select all other courses, with guidance from the Associate Dean for Academics, from courses available to Juris Doctor students and design a study program for their individual objectives. A program of study may involve a general overview of U.S. law or a focus in one or more specific areas.

Admission Requirement / Eligibility Criteria
Grade Point Average (GPA)
The minimum undergraduate GPA to be considered for non-degree admission (not pursuing a certificate or degree) is 2.5 on a 4.0 scale. Each degree and certificate program sets its own minimum GPA standard. Students should look at the admission requirements for their program of study for complete information.
Standardized Tests
Although standardized tests such as the GRE and GMAT are not a university requirement, they are required by most NKU graduate programs. Applicants should check with the graduate program director for specifics.
International Transcripts
Applicants who have international transcripts are required to submit an evaluation by an accredited foreign education evaluation service before sending their transcripts to NKU. Many graduate programs require a course-by-course analysis and GPA, so be certain to check the requirements of each program.
English Proficiency
Applicants must demonstrate English proficiency by submitting the exam results on either the Test of English as a Foreign Language (TOEFL) or the International English Language Testing Service (IELTS) exam. TOEFL scores must meet a minimum standard score of 550 on the paper version, 213 of the computer-based version, or 79 on the internet based (iBT) version. Applicants submitting the IELTS must achieve a 6.5 on the general band portion. Particular graduate programs may require higher minimum scores on either of these tests or specific minimum scores on the individual sections of the TOEFL.
