Program Overview

This dual degree program is not accepting students for the 2024-2025 academic year.

Students wishing to earn the History, MA and the Law, JD must be separately admitted to both degree programs. They must meet the qualitative requirements of both degrees and earn them simultaneously, starting their course work in the master's program in history prior to their fifth semester of law school.  Also, no course work completed prior to official matriculation in the law school may be counted toward the JD.

Program Requirements

For the joint JD/MA program, students must be admitted to both the history graduate program and the law school. They can earn the degree in either three and one-half years or three years and two summers of study, completing a total of 106 credit hours (including double credits of up to 9 credit hours).
