Focus your legal studies and aim your practice. Graduate Certificates allow you to thoroughly explore areas of the law that interest you most, and choose your career path early.
McKinney currently offers several Graduate Certificates that students may earn in addition to a J.D. degree. A maximum of two certificates may be earned in conjunction with your J.D. studies. Courses associated with each certificate have been tagged in our curriculum database and are indicated by squares of color with the official course descriptions. Additionally, several certificates are affiliated with an IU McKinney Center or specialty Program.
J.D. students wishing to pursue any certificate must submit an intent form by the end of the first week of their final semester. This is a non-negotiable deadline so that IU McKinney School of Law is in compliance with Indiana University policy. Please note: ALL students pursuing a Graduate Certificate are required to have a final graduation check appointment with your advisor in Student Affairs or at osalaw@iu.edu at least one month prior to graduation.
