Graduate and International Programs

Graduate and International Programs serves as the central administrative office for BU Law's LL.M. in American Law Program, LL.M. in Intellectual Property Law Program and foreign exchange programs.  It is, in many respects, the “home away from home” for most of the dozens and dozens of international graduate students whom BU Law welcomes each year. The Office is committed to furthering BU Law's long-standing tradition of welcoming people of every race and ethnicity, encouraging the exchange of ideas, and the formation of relations that transcend national boundaries.

Prospective students should direct all application-related questions to this office.
