The MSL at UF Law
The Master of Studies in Law (MSL) at the University of Florida Levin College of Law is a fully online, 30-credit graduate degree designed for working professionals who work adjacent to the law but do not intend to practice law.
Whether you’re in compliance, tax, finance, healthcare, estate planning, or another profession that may encounter legal issues, the MSL program provides a solid legal foundation tailored to your profession.
You’ll gain practical knowledge of the legal landscape relevant to your industry—strengthening your decision-making, compliance awareness, and leadership capabilities.
“As an Emmy Award-winning media operations executive and proud 2008 UF alum, I chose the Levin College of Law’s M.S.L. curriculum to better navigate the complex legal frameworks of network union contracts and media and entertainment legal regulations. The program’s top-notch instruction has left an indelible imprint on my mind. Specifically, the ethics and negotiations workshop classes have directly enhanced my daily interactions with photojournalists and vendors, providing the practical tools needed to confidently negotiate employee contracts and vendor rates. I look forward to leveraging this legal education to continue advancing within the media industry.”
