Graduate Programs
USD offers 35 master's degrees, three doctoral degrees, the JD, and five LLM degrees. Across all of our graduate programs, award-winning faculty engage students through small class sizes, hands-on research, and real-world global experiences and knowledge.
The following is a list of degrees currently offered by the University of San Diego. Detailed information about these degrees is available through the Graduate Course Catalog and the School of Law website. Each degree is linked to the academic department offering the degree, and the department page will open in a new window.
Because of the variety of programs offered, many different application deadlines exist. In some cases, programs offer entry during the summer, spring, and fall terms, while others only fall or summer entry. Please consult with the program website, admissions information page, or the graduate bulletin for the deadlines associated with your program.
The University of San Diego reserves the right to add or withdraw programs whenever such changes are adjudged to be desirable or necessary.
