Required Courses
Qualification for an LLM degree at Wake Forest requires a student to successfully complete two semesters of study in residence, during which time the student must earn 24 semester hours of coursework. The selection of courses is largely up to the student. At least five of these hours must come from courses that are part of the law school's first-year curriculum.
LLM students attend classes with American students and are subject to the same grading procedures. A minimum grade point average of 73 on a 100 point scale is required to complete the degree. More...
Upon enrollment, you will consult with your faculty advisor to select these and other courses that meet your plans and interests. You may want to browse our JD courses for more information. LLM candidates may, with permission, also take courses from an approved list of graduate courses in the University, including the Babcock Graduate School of Management.
We require only the following courses:
- Introduction to American Law
- Legal Writing and Research for International Lawyers
- Thesis or Seminar Writing Option
- Scholarly Writing (for those writing a thesis)
