FAQ
1Does Duke Law School offer specialized LLM degrees?
是的，general LLM 项目可以学习到美国的法律和诉讼程序，但是同样的学生也可以选择自己感兴趣的领域的相关课程。杜克大学在商业法、知识产权法、公共与国际法、环境法这些课程方面尤其知名。General LLM项目也包含一个证书项目--环境法，专门授予给完成环境法特定课程要求的学生。
2Do you accept the International English Language Testing System (IELTS) score instead of the TOEFL score?
我们更倾向于托福考试成绩，不过可以考虑总分在7.5或以上的雅思成绩。
3Do you offer scholarships?
杜克法学院每年会给极少数学生授予奖学金。如果想申请，请随申请写一封信说明。我们鼓励申请人能够在申请初期寻找其他的途径，比如政府或者用人单位给予的奖学金或者贷款。非美国公民也可以申请学生贷款，但是必须由美国公民做担保。
