The curriculum includes core classes, concentration classes and a capstone. Students can apply what they learn at work while studying. The degree does not qualify graduates to sit for a bar exam. Courses are fully online, new students may start in fall or winter, and neither the LSAT nor the GRE is needed to apply. The program is delivered by Wayne State University in Detroit, Michigan.
