We are EXTREMELY pleased to announce a new program to obtain a Master of Jurisprudence in Indian Law

Full disclosure - your humble blog co-editor is a director of this new program.

Which makes me absolutely delighted to be able to share this announcement:

The University of Tulsa College of Law, in partnership with Concord Law School of Kaplan University, is proud to announce the first master's program of its kind:  the on-line Master of Jurisprudence in Indian Law.  The MJIL will launch in August, 2011, pending acquiescence by the American Bar Association.  This degree is intended for those who work with or for Indian tribes, organizations, and businesses, government agencies, and no-Indian businesses doing business with INdians who need to understand the legal landscape of Indian Counter; as an advanced degree for Indian studies and related majors; and for those for whom these studies are otherwise pertinent.  This degree will not qualify its recipients to sit for a state bar examination.  Applicants must have received their Bachelor's or equivalent degree prior to enrolling in the MJIL.

An entirely on-line program, the MJIL requires 30 credit hours.  Initially, the MJIL will be available for part-time study.  In their first year in the program, students will complete a required curriculum of 12 credit hours.  Thereafter, students may choose among the elective courses and will complete 3-6 credits of thesis or a professional paper.  Students may begin the MJIL in either August or January.

For further information, potential students and those otherwise interested may attend an upcoming Webinar on Tuesday, April 19th, 2011, at 6PM Eastern/3PM Pacific, which can be found at http://webinar.indianlawmj.com.  If you can't make the Webinar, it will be archived for later viewing.  Alternatively and additionally, you can get more information with an email to Director@indianlawmj.com.
