2023-2024 Graduate Course Catalog

Graduate Programs

USD offers more than 40 graduate programs, 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. This is the list of degrees currently offered. Detailed information about these degrees is available through the Graduate Course Catalog and the School of Law.

Because of the variety of programs offered, there are many different deadlines associated with our graduate programs. 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 catalog for the deadlines associated with your program.
