DESCRIPTION

Crestpoint University's Master of Science in Legal Studies Degree is designed for people who are considering a career transition to the legal profession and to help people who are already working in the legal field to advance their careers with additional training and credentials.


This Master's Degree is an affordable and superior alternative to a post-bachelor's paralegal certificate and provides a more solid academic and practical foundation for aspiring or practicing legal professionals. Our courses are academically challenging, but also incorporate practical elements that will assist you in the workplace.


The Master of Science in Legal Studies Degree is recommended for anyone with a bachelor's degree who wishes to work in the legal field or teach law-based undergraduate courses. It can be completed in less than half the time and for a small fraction of the cost of a Juris Doctor degree at a law school, while providing you with an edge in the job market over candidates possessing only a bachelor's degree or paralegal certificate.


With the number of people earning bachelor's degrees on the rise, our master's program graduates will earn a credential that can help them stand out to hiring professionals.

TESTIMONIAL

Lorelei Graduate

I'm 18 years old, and I just graduated from both high school and college at the same time. Smarter by 1 Degree really opened doors for me and provided a clear path because I wasn’t sure what I wanted to do. They explained everything step by step, laid out my options, and allowed me to decide what was best for me. Whenever I had questions or doubts, they were incredibly encouraging in their responses, which boosted my confidence and made me feel capable.

Having my degree at such a young age has opened up so many more opportunities than most of my peers have, and I feel more confident moving forward. I highly recommend Smarter by 1 Degree.
