Degree Programs
In addition to our JD Program, we are proud to offer the world’s first advanced legal degree in animal law (LLM), the nation’s first Master of Studies in animal law for non-lawyers (MSL), and the world’s first animal law doctoral program (SJD).
These degrees are designed for US and international advocates who wish to focus on animal law in practice, teaching, research, or public policy. With our program featuring a mix of JD, MSL, LLM, and SJD students in many of our courses, classroom discussions are informed by diverse viewpoints, disciplines, experiences, and more, with this dynamic empowering us to better educate future leaders in the field. Study with us in person (all degrees) at our beautiful campus in Portland, Oregon, or online (LLM and MSL).
