Please refer to our programs of study page for a comprehensive list of all of the graduate programs offered within the university.

Admission Requirements

Candidates for admission to the proposed certificate program may meet less stringent requirements than the minimum requirements for the Legal Studies programs of Montclair State University currently required by Graduate Admissions such as maintaining a grade point average of 3.0 or greater in their undergraduate work. No GRE is required for entry into the certificate program. Program completion will normally be with a one and one half year cycle.

Graduate Admissions requires the equivalent of a U.S. bachelor’s degree in order to be eligible to apply for a graduate program. Applicants with non-U.S. degrees, please visit the International Applicants page to review the U.S. degree equivalency information.
