Online LL.M. Application Process

Application

All application materials can be submitted through this Online LL.M. Application Portal. 

Degree-seeking applicants should be prepared to submit the following:

• Application Form
• Confirmation that Credential Evaluation or Transcript Order is In Progress: The course by course credential evaluation is required for non-US law degrees. Applicants may select from any of these agencies or may proceed through the UDSL Online LLM page with TEC (SpanTran). Additionally, Educational Credential Evaluators (ECE) has created a custom application for the University of Dayton that will give applicants a discounted rate. A copy of the evaluation will be sent digitally to the University of Dayton at no charge. Access the evaluation application. Applicants who earned their law degree in the US should order official JD transcripts and have them emailed from their US Law School to onlinellmapplication@udayton.edu. 
• English Proficiency (TOEFL, IELTS, Duolingo, CEFR, Waiver Request): Proof of English proficiency is required as the LL.M. Program is academically rigorous and is 100% in English. This can be demonstrated through a minimum TOEFL score of 80, an IELTS score of 6.5, a Duolingo score of 120-125, or a CEFR B2/C1 earned within the past 2 years. Alternatively, applicants may submit a waiver request that highlights their background in English and includes supporting documentation (for example, certificates received, transcripts confirming English study, alternate English assessments, letters in support of the request that highlight the use of and proficiency in English, etc.). Any alternate English assessments should have scores that convert to a TOEFL score of 80 or an IELTS score of 6.5. A video screening will be required as part of the waiver process, which you must schedule.

You may submit a scholarship request statement that further highlights any additional information (academic, professional, personal accomplishments, financial need) that you would like to be considered in the scholarship determination.
