INTERNATIONAL PROGRAMS
Villanova University Charles Widger School of Law prepares students to be ethical, adaptable and skilled leaders with a global perspective.
Rooted in our Augustinian values and guided by the principle of Unitas, Villanova Law fosters international awareness and respect for human dignity.
We revolutionize legal education and push the boundaries of traditional legal instruction by infusing the curriculum with our Where Law Meets Business philosophy. Through international educational opportunities and interdisciplinary learning, we empower students to navigate the evolving legal landscapes across borders, cultures and markets.
LLM IN US LAW FOR FOREIGN-TRAINED ATTORNEYS
Villanova Law's LLM in US Law for Foreign-Trained Attorneys is designed for graduate students who earned a law degree, such as an LLB, in a country other than the United States. This degree will assist graduates in gaining proficiency in the law, the legal system and practice in the US.
