New focus areas in Higher Education Law and Employment Law help executives navigate highly regulated fields on the job.
Law is everywhere.
From protecting personal liberties and maintaining public safety and accountability, to governing how companies do business, the law provides structure for society. “Once you understand all of the ways in which the law touches the lives of ordinary Americans, you can’t not see it,” says Maryland Carey Law Dean Renée Laurent, JD.
Students in the Master of Science in Law (MSL) program know this. Many of them enrolled in the MSL to gain a legal framework to advance their careers in government, medicine, cybersecurity, and more.
Now entering its second decade, the MSL is adding two new focus areas, in Employment Law and Higher Education Law, to continue providing professionals in law-adjacent positions a foundation in the workings of the U.S. legal system. The new focus areas, created in response to market demand, join existing areas of interest in Health Care Law, Homeland Security and Crisis Management Law, and Cybersecurity Law.
