Program Description

St. Thomas University School of Law’s LL.M. Program in Environmental Sustainability is a one-year, 24-credit interdisciplinary program that emphasizes the practical application of rules surrounding environmental sustainability. Taught by a seasoned faculty as well as visiting instructors with outstanding professional experience, the program provides a strong foundation in environmental and natural resources laws and places these in the relevant scientific context. To facilitate access for students who do not live in the area, many courses are available by webinar; other courses and field visits are scheduled over a Friday - Saturday. Skills-based foundational courses involve students in collaborative out-of-class projects similar to tasks frequently found in practice. Immersion modules, generally scheduled over two days, allow top experts in their fields to take time from their schedules to serve as visiting instructors of targeted, intensive workshops. Students go onsite to work locations and affected natural areas. The program is open to individuals holding J.D. or the foreign equivalent.
