Tuition reflects full-time enrollment in fall and spring semesters.
LLM students must demonstrate that they possess the financial means to pay for their education as a condition of their matriculation in the program. Foreign applicants are encouraged to contact the education attaché at the US Embassy or Consulate in their home country for assistance that may be available under the Fulbright or similar programs.
For international students requiring a visa, federal law requires full-time enrollment, and part-time options are not available.
All enrolled students at Emory University, including those enrolled in the school of law’s online degree programs, are subject to the university’s tuition refund policy. That includes the policy’s schedule of reduced refund levels, with the passage of additional days following the start of the relevant semester (i.e., spring, summer, or fall). Even as to classes that start in the middle of the term, thus, any withdrawal must occur at the start of relevant term, if any refund is to be received.
For the most accurate information regarding tuition and fees, please consult the Emory University Office of Financial Aid website. To receive an actual merit-based scholarship award at Emory Law, you must apply and be accepted for admission.
