Four fields. No essay and no financial documents.
Your country of residence sets the price. Nothing else is assessed.
Data protection, artificial intelligence, cross-border employment, digital contracts: the regulatory ground has shifted more in five years than in the twenty before it, and it is still moving. Most organizations do not need another lawyer on retainer. They need people inside the business who can recognize a legal problem while it is still small. That role barely existed a decade ago, and it is being filled right now.
In compliance, contracts, procurement, HR and operations, the costliest problems are the ones no one recognized as legal in time. The program gives you working knowledge of data protection, AI regulation, ESG and compliance, corporate law and international business, so you can identify risk early, ask the right questions, and know when it is time to call a lawyer.
The Master in Legal Studies is designed for professionals who deal with legal questions without being lawyers: managers, compliance officers, HR leaders, public servants and entrepreneurs. It is not a law degree and does not qualify you to practice law. It makes you the person in the room who understands the rules, a role organizations increasingly value.
Compliance officer, data protection lead, legal operations manager, and governance and ESG roles inside the business.
AGTU (American Global Tech University) is licensed by the Florida Department of Education, Commission for Independent Education, and accredited by ASIC in the United Kingdom. Your completion documents read the same whether you studied from Lima or from Lagos.
A through F, not pass/fail. This matters if you plan to pursue a doctorate or claim tuition reimbursement from your employer: several online universities issue only pass/fail grades, and that can quietly close both doors.
Every admitted student receives one. It is based on your country of residence, applied automatically the moment you are admitted, and valid for the entire program. No essay, no financial documents, no interview, no quota and no waiting list.
Start any day, with no intake dates. Finish in about 6, 9, or 12 months for the same total price, paid as a first payment plus 18 monthly payments. Students in more than 21 countries are already enrolled.
The Free Competency Program gives you the first two courses of the degree at no cost, with a tutor and a certificate you keep. If you continue, they count toward your degree and the $48 enrollment fee is waived.
