Thank you for your interest in Penn State Dickinson Law! I am writing to share more information about Penn State Dickinson Law's LL.M. program.

 As the nation's fifth oldest law school and as a member of world-renowned public research institution Penn State University, Dickinson Law prepares its students for a competitive, global market. Dickinson Law is ABA-accredited and located in Carlisle, Pennsylvania, a beautiful college town about 20 minutes west of the state’s capital in Harrisburg and two hours north of the nation’s capital in Washington D.C. Throughout its rich, 40-year history of offering the LL.M. program, Dickinson Law has welcomed students from around the world who have come to advance their careers by studying with our distinguished faculty.  Our program is a 24-credit, one academic year course of study, designed to give students a high-level understanding of the U.S. legal system. Our LL.M. cohort is kept intentionally small to foster greater interaction with faculty and J.D. students, as well as to cultivate relationships with alumni, judges and lawyers in the nearby metropolitan legal markets of Harrisburg, Philadelphia, Baltimore, New York and Washington D.C.  All LL.M. applicants are considered for merit-based scholarships, including up to 50 percent of tuition to exceptionally qualified admitted students. Learn more about outside scholarships here.
