This master’s degree is taught from a Christian worldview and can help you understand essential legal concepts in health policy and law without the commitment of a residential Juris Doctor degree. Professionals who need to understand legal policy and regulations that influence the functioning of businesses, educational institutions, nonprofits, and government agencies can benefit from a broad-based and in-depth study of legal issues and compliance for their industry.


Liberty’s JM in Compliance is designed to equip you with an in-depth study of the American legal system as well as specialized compliance issues that may arise in your field.

You will examine the process of meeting legal, ethical, and professional standards set by government agencies and third-party players. You will also study how organizations can develop and administer effective standards to screen and evaluate employees, communicate and educate them on compliance issues, investigate non-compliance, and take appropriate disciplinary and remedial measures.

Through this program, you will examine domestic legal regimes that govern corporate conduct, norms, and ethics. You will also examine the development of compliance programs and the role of compliance professionals.

With a firm foundation in compliance and legal studies, earning the JM in Compliance can help equip you with a wide skill set that you can use to tackle regulatory challenges in several industries.
