Legal Studies (MA)

Webster University

From law and business to health care and government, there is an ever-present need for specialists who understand the legal system and can help navigate through it.

Coursework for the master's in Legal Studies is designed to provide students with a broad understanding of the legal environment in which individuals, businesses, and the judiciary operate. It's an ideal degree for individuals (such as managers, teachers, government employees and legal assistants) who would benefit professionally from additional legal knowledge. In fact, Webster University's master's degree in Legal Studies was mentioned in Paralegal Today as one of the few programs in the country for students wishing to further their knowledge of Paralegal Studies. Many students earning an MA in Legal Studies also pursue a certificate in Paralegal Studies concurrently with their degree.
