Master of Legal Studies students attend classes with Juris Doctor students, but are graded according to the Northern Kentucky University graduate-student grading scale.

There are a limited number of online classes offered at Chase that can be taken for credit toward the MLS, but the degree is earned primarily in on-campus classes.
