Tuition and Fee Information

Fees for attendance in the 2025-2026 LL.M. Program are as follows:

• Tuition Fee: $76,772.00
• UCSHIP Health Insurance Fee: $6,882.00* 
• Health Facilities Fees (Ashe Center Usage and CAPS Services): $238.00**
• Document Fee: $94.32***
• U.C. Graduate and Professional Council (UCGPC) Fee: $7.00****

Fees are divided in half and charged to students in two equal installments (except for the Document Fee, which is charged only in the fall semester). Payment for the Fall Tuition Installment is due in mid-August and the Spring Tuition Installment is due in mid-December. Alternatively, students may enroll in the BruinPay Plan to pay fees in monthly installments.

LL.M. students may pursue financial aid resources to help supplement the cost of attendance. Tuition costs are identical for both international and domestic students. California residents are not eligible for discounted tuition. 

*Students who have health insurance which will provide coverage for the duration of the LL.M. Program may apply for a waiver of the UCSHIP fee. Before purchasing alternative insurance coverage, students should carefully review the waiver application procedure and criteria.

**Health Facilities Fees are mandatory for all students and cannot be waived.

***The Document Fee is a one-time mandatory fee assessed all UCLA students during their first matriculation term in a degree program. It provides lifetime no-charge standard processing of official transcript requests and no-charge mailing of the diploma.

****Students can choose to pay the UC Graduate and Professional Council (UCGPC) Fee​ for the purpose of funding the University of California Graduate and Professional Council. It is a nonmandatory, university-wide fee from which a student may elect to opt out for the duration of their degree program. To change an opt-in/opt-out selection, students can submit an online request from the first day a new term is active to the published deadline.

Fee Disclaimer

The tuition, fees, and charges posted to the student billing statement are estimates based on existing amounts. These figures may not be final. Actual tuition, fees, and charges are subject to change by the Regents of the University of California and could be affected by state funding reductions. Accordingly, final approved tuition and fee levels (and thus a student’s final balance due) may differ from the amounts shown.

Visa Information

If you accept UCLA's offer of admission and you are not a U.S. citizen or permanent resident, the UCLA Dashew Center for International Students and Scholars will email you instructions for applying online for an I-20 form. With your I-20 application, you will be required to submit electronic copies of your passport and financial documentation which demonstrates that you possess the necessary funds to pay for the costs of tuition and living expenses.

After processing these documents, the Dashew Center will issue your I-20 form through their MyBruin International Portal. After receiving the I-20 form, you must apply for an F-1 student visa to obtain authorization to enter the country. Please plan to apply for your visa well in advance of the date you intend to travel to the United States, as appointment availability and processing time varies widely among embassies.
