The ?programme taught at Duquesne University offers both a General Curriculum and a Bar-Track Curriculum. Both provide opportunities to study and improve legal research, writing, and analytical skills in the context of United States law.

Before regular classes begin in the fall, Duquesne conducts a Summer Bridge Program for Foreign Law Students. The program is required for Bar-Track LL.M. students and General Curriculum students holding or pursuing a foreign law-related degree (as opposed to a law degree). The Summer Bridge Program is recommended for other General Curriculum LL.M. students.
