CSL Admissions
The Admissions Office is not hosting admissions-related events from December 23 through January 1. Please email us at csl@uclawsf.edu to connect with us.
The UC Law SF Certificate of Studies in Law (CSL) program is a two-semester, part-time program designed to provide professionals who engage with the law a foundational understanding of legal reasoning and doctrine.
We encourage you to tour our virtual campus and sign up for an advising appointment to learn more about our CSL program.

UC Law SF CSL students, who wish to continue their studies after completing the CSL, may be eligible to transfer to the Master of Studies in Law (MSL) program and complete their master’s degree in just one additional semester.
