Certificate Programs and ConcentrationsTo respond to the increased demand for specialized legal skills, CUA Law offers four intensive certificate programs and seven structured concentrations in specialized areas of practice. Students who fulfill the requirements of either of these programs will graduate with enhanced expertise in a particular area of the law. Certificate programs and concentrations offer different levels of specialized legal training, but either path distinguishes the graduate as especially practice-ready in their chosen area of interest.
