Candidates for the LL.M. in the various specialties must complete between 14 and 21 credits in their respective area of specialization. Credits not in the area of a student’s specialization may be taken in any NYU School of Law courses open to graduate students.
Credit Requirement Students must complete at least 14 credits from the list of courses under “International Legal Studies” (L05) in the course schedule. Courses designated as “related courses” (see below) also count towards the required minimum of 14 credits in this field.
Unless students have considerable academic background in the particular area, they are advised to take at least one basic course in Public International Law, one in International Economic Law, and one in Comparative or Global Law. Students who have taken basic courses such as International Law as part of their first law degree sometimes choose not to take them in the LL.M. However, the intellectual approach and material covered are likely to be different from similarly-titled courses in other countries; so many students find it valuable to take these courses at NYU.

TOEFL:
Applicants taking the Internet-based TOEFL (iBT) are required to achieve a minimum total score of at least 100, a minimum score of 26 on the reading and listening subsections, and a minimum score of 22 on the writing subsection. Because the speaking subsection is unique to the iBT, we do not set a minimum score for this subsection. However, the Committee on Graduate Admissions will look for scores of at least 22.
Personal Statement and Résumé:
All applicants must electronically attach to the online application a brief statement of no more than 500 words. You may describe your professional interests and goals or, since the Committee on Graduate Admissions does not grant interviews, you may use the statement to describe aspects of yourself and/or your work that are not apparent from your other application materials. You should include your reasons and qualifications for applying for a particular program or specialization. All applicants must also electronically attach a résumé to their application; it may be one to two pages in length.
