FROM THE
ASSOCIATE DEAN

As the Dean of Graduate and International Programs, my strategy is to personalize a curriculum for each student that aligns with their goals and builds upon their strengths and experiences. Whether their priority is the New York Bar exam, or to specialize in a growing area of law, such as IP (or to do both!), Cardozo provides access to a vast array of curriculum options and resources, a strong community and professional networks that offer support not just during the LL.M. year, but for the rest of their professional lives. At Cardozo we are here to help our students make the most of this opportunity to live and study with us in the heart of New York City.
