“Coming into law school, I expected to be on my own in seeking career opportunities. I could not have been more wrong! From day one, the staff and faculty assisted me in discovering my desired career path. Advisors, professors, and deans—all acknowledged my interest in federal courts and appellate practice and enthusiastically worked with me one-on-one toward my goal of clerking for a judge. From my experience with the Texas Supreme Court, federal district courts, and private practice litigation — all leading to my post-graduation clerkship at the U.S. Fifth Circuit Court of Appeals — I know I would not be where I am at the start of my legal career without the support of so many at Texas A&M!”
- Kathryn Keating ’24, Clerkship, U.S. Fifth Circuit Court of Appeals (after grad/bar)

How to Apply to Texas A&M Law

Juris Doctor Admissions

Our top-ranked JD program is intended for those who want to practice law and who have or are obtaining a bachelor’s degree or equivalent. This path includes prospective first-year students, visiting and transfer students, and Aggie Direct students.

Master of Laws Admissions

Our LLM program primarily serves two types of students: Those who hold a JD or equivalent degree from a non-U.S. law school and plan on sitting for the Bar Examination and lawyers who want to specialize in a particular area of law. There are six tracks, including online options, each earning 24 credit hours.

Master of Legal Studies Admissions

Geared toward degreed, non-lawyer professionals who work in highly regulated or complex industries and recent college graduates seeking specialized training, the Master of Legal Studies provides legal training for those who don’t plan on practicing law but would benefit from knowledge of the law. With 13 tracks to choose from, 30 credit hours for degree completion, and online convenience, this path is flexible and adds tremendous value to prior education.

Online Graduate Certificates

Certificates are designed for professionals with a bachelor’s degree or equivalent who are interested in understanding the legal aspects of their industry without the monetary and time commitment of a full master’s degree. In most cases, credits are stackable toward an MLS degree.
