Degrees/Certificates
Seton Hall Law School offers a variety of degrees in health, technology, and intellectual property law, as well as two certificate programs - Online Graduate Certificate Program in Health & Hospital Law and Healthcare Compliance Certification Program. JD students who wish to focus their studies in one of these areas can concentrate in either Health Law, Intellectual Property Law, or Entertainment Law.
In order to graduate with a concentration, students must complete 14 credits in the field, including both required and elective courses, and write a seminar paper or law journal note approved by the concentration supervisor. JD students may also pursue joint degrees related to health or intellectual property in tandem with two of Seton Hall University's distinguished schools: the Stillman School of Business for a Masters in Business Administration (MBA), or the John C. Whitehead School of Diplomacy for a Master of Arts in Diplomacy and International Relations (MADIR).
Individuals who are already working in jobs related to health, technology, or intellectual property and who want to learn more about the legal implications of their work - without actually studying to become lawyers - may pursue a two-year, part-time Master of Science (MSJ) in Health, Science, and Technology Law. MSJ students take a broad range of general law courses as well as specialized courses in either health law, intellectual property law, or both.
Practicing lawyers who wish to become experts in their fields may pursue an LLM in either Health Law or Intellectual Property Law. The LLM involves 24 credits, including a thesis, and it may be pursued either full time or part time.
Finally, Seton Hall offers a multi-day Healthcare Compliance Certification program for compliance professionals and lawyers in the pharmaceutical and medical device industries, which immerses participants in the statutes, regulations, and other guidances these industries must follow, as well as an Online Certificate in Health & Hospital Law, which offers healthcare professionals and hospital administrators an in-depth immersion in legal, regulatory, and ethical issues in healthcare delivery.
