Few
law schools can match William Mitchell’s curriculum in the number
and types of classes offered, including advanced and more
specialized courses. Our curriculum, of more than 100 courses, is
broad yet in-depth enough to enable you to concentrate on a specific
area of law after your first year. In fact, many of our students
develop interests as they are exposed to our wide range of courses.
