Academic Programs
Health Law
Established in 1986, DePaul's Master of Laws in Health Law was the first academic program of its type in the country. Consistently ranked among the nation's top programs since its inception, this program, along with DePaul's Health Law Institute, addresses the growing demand for lawyers with specialized credentials in this field. Guided by outstanding full-time faculty and leading attorneys, the health law curriculum evolves as health care law and technology change. Students also gain valuable practice experience while earning course credit through externships or by writing or editing for the prestigious DePaul Journal of Health Care Law.
