YOUR LEGAL EDUCATION BELONGS TO YOU

Nebraska Law students co-create their academic experience. Our students are encouraged to pursue their passions through concentrations and have the flexibility to further customize their coursework through clinics, externships and other electives. This emphasis on individualization alongside our core legal classes makes a Nebraska Law education unlike any other institution.
 

Curriculum

Programs of Concentrated Study

Programs of Concentrated Study allow you to earn certificates for pursuing a faculty-supervised selection of courses in an area of interest to you. Whether you select one of our pre-approved paths, or you choose to create an Individualized Program of Concentrated Study in partnership with a faculty member, your transcript will reflect that you successfully completed a more in-depth study of the relevant area of law.

Joint Degree Programs

Expand your studies through our dual degree programs. These intensive areas of study allow students to pursue their J.D. at the same time as a masters or doctoral degree. Specialized programs such as these are for highly ambitious and dedicated students looking to complete two degrees in a shorter span of time than if they pursued each degree individually.
