Visa Requirements
Generally, all students admitted to the LL.M. program for foreign lawyers or who
will be a visiting scholar at the law school must obtain a J-1 or
F-1 visa. The visa application process is initiated by the
Admissions Office and, depending on a number of factors, can take
several months. Inquiries about the visa process may be
directed to lawadmit@smu.edu.
