Annual Tuition and Costs

Tuition and other costs for the M.S.L. at the University of Georgia are very competitive, making enrollment in Georgia Law a tremendous investment in your career. Athens is an ideal place to study. Housing, food, and other costs are considerably lower than in a major metropolitan area.
