The traditional LLM degree is designed for students who wish to take full advantage of NYU’s extraordinarily wide range of course offerings and the diverse research interests of our faculty. Unlike students in the specialized LLM programs, candidates pursuing the traditional LLM degree are not limited to a specific number of classes in one field, and they have the freedom to choose courses that match their interests. But this does not mean that they need to abandon their specialized interests in corporate, international, trade or other fields. For instance, those pursuing the traditional master’s can still take a good number of international classes while focusing their studies in other areas. Students also have the option of expanding a typical research assignment into a master’s thesis, culminating their training with a significant scholarly work.
