Dual Degree Admissions
As an incoming student, you can apply for the JD/MA in International Affairs, the JD/MS in Justice, Law, and Society, or the JD/MBA by completing the law school application and selecting one dual degree program under "degree objective." If you are applying for the JD/MA program, a copy of your law school admissions file is sent to the School of International Service once the law school has received all your required materials. If you are applying to the JD/MS or JD/MBA program you must first be admitted to the law school and then a copy of your credentials are forwarded to the School of Public Affairs or the Kogod School of Business. The law school admissions committee will judge your application on the same criteria as non-dual degree candidates. You will receive separate decision letters from the law school and the graduate program.
Continuing students may apply to a dual degree program after completing the first year of law school by requesting in writing that the law school registrar's office forward your application and transcripts to the graduate program.
