Defense Acquisition University (DAU) Transfer Credits

The George Washington University Law School (GW Law) offers a 24-credit hour Master of Studies in Law (MSL) for Government Procurement Law to help meet the growing demand for non-lawyers to be familiar with how law and policy influence the field of government procurement. In recognition of the training that many of our MSL candidates have received prior to enrolling at GW Law, the Law School has developed a partnership with the Defense Acquisition University (DAU) to further our shared mission of educating the acquisition workforce.


Pursuant to a Strategic Partnership Program Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) between DAU and GW Law, Level 2 and Level 3 certified acquisition professionals can now transfer DAU credits toward the MSL degree, as detailed below. Students who have completed eligible DAU credits must complete a DAU Credit Transfer Application to receive credits towards their MSL degree.
