Professional Tracks & Special Distinctions
Professional tracks and special distinctions provide students with the opportunity to focus their studies based on interest and career goals.
Students are not required to complete a professional track or special distinction, but are encouraged to do so. Students interested in one or more areas of study should see one of the designated faculty members for additional information about the benefits of pursuing the completion of a track or special distinction. Planning needs to begin as early in law school as possible to avoid potential scheduling conflicts.
