The University of Houston Law Center was named a top 10 best budget school in the U.S. for an LL.M., and in the top 10 for energy law, global law and health/medical law LL.M. offerings by the LLM GUIDE for its Top 10 Lists by Specialty for 2025. LLM GUIDE is located in Berlin, Germany, and was established in 2001. It serves as a directory for LL.M. programs around the world.
“I am thrilled that LLM Guide has once again recognized the University of Houston Law Center as a lower cost-high quality program,” said Karen Jones, executive director of Global and Graduate Programs at UHLC. “The cost of living in Houston compared to other major cities in the U.S. is also a major plus for those considering the overall cost of pursuing an LL.M.”
“With our incredible faculty, the ultra-modern John M. O'Quinn Law Building, and continued recognition of top 10 programs, UH Law Center is a great place to pursue an LL.M. degree,” she added.
“Studying in Houston may be beneficial,” said LLM Guide about the Law Center. “America’s fourth-largest city is a leader in health care, energy and international business, so prospects for employment locally are expected to be good.”
The publication added that Houston, known as the “Energy Capital of the World” and a major hub for the oil and gas industry, is an ideal location to pursue an LL.M. in energy law.
The entry reads: “With over 5,000 energy firms in the region, Houston provides a dynamic environment for studying the intersection between energy, law, and policy.” For LL.M. students interested in global law, LLM Guide referenced the Center for U.S. and Mexican Law and how it enables students to study comparative and international law. It added that the program will help participants “develop an understanding of the global implications of various public and private sector activities. The city of Houston itself has substantial global connections.”
The health law LL.M. program was cited for its research, workshops and courses like “Biotechnology and Law,” “Health Privacy,” and “Genetics and the Law.”
