Our admissions process considers each application in its entirety, including academic transcripts, leadership activities, community activities, work experience, personal background, letters of recommendation, personal statement, LSAT score(s) and LSAT writing sample. Through individual consideration, the admissions committee seeks to identify candidates who are academically prepared for law study and who will contribute to the promotion of diversity and excellence in the student body and the legal profession. The committee uses no computational methods for making decisions. Although the number of applicants each year greatly exceeds our number of matriculated students, we invite all who would like to study law at Penn State to apply for admission.
All applicants for the LL.M.
program must hold an LL.B., J.D., or equivalent
degree from a foreign law school. Applicants must
also have earned a minimum paper-based score of
575, a computer-based score of 230, a minimum of
6.5 on the IELTS, or an Internet-based score of
88 on the Test of English as a Foreign Language
(TOEFL), administered by the Educational Testing
Service at 300 testing centers around the world.
