Specialization was traditionally left to advanced degree programs or hands-on practical experience. The Certificate of Concentration at Washburn Law formalizes specialization within the regular law school curriculum. Certificates are available in fields of
Certificates of concentration are earned by taking one or more required courses from a list of courses considered part of the specialty field. In addition, students must complete optional courses, writing, and service requirements. Students must earn a B average in those courses. The programs can be completed within the normal 90 credit hours required for graduation. Students must declare their intention to complete a certificate program early in the second year of law school, and work closely with a faculty advisor in course selection to design a concentration that meets the student's specific needs and interests.
