Joint Degrees

The legal field's interrelation with virtually every aspect of society has become readily apparent in recent decades. Recognizing this interesting overlap and capitalizing on the University's depth of resources, the College of Law collaborates with University graduate departments to offer 12 exciting joint degree programs. While students must apply for admission to both programs, each participating department will accept a number of transfer credits from the corresponding program to allow students to earn both degrees in a shorter time.

Interdisciplinary Study

While the College of Law course offerings are so varied that it would take a student 12 years to sample all of them, students interested in related subjects outside the law school may receive up to 12 hours of credit for study in another discipline. This flexibility allows students to complement their legal education with advanced coursework in top-ranked University departments like accounting, engineering, computer science, social work, and medicine.
