Enjoy a New Degree of Success
One way to distinguish yourself academically and professionally is by earning both a law degree and another graduate degree in an area that interests you. MSU College of Law’s affiliation with Michigan State University — and its relationship with Grand Valley State University in Grand Rapids and the University of Ottawa in Canada — make it possible for law students to pursue both a J.D. and another advanced degree at the same time.
You can choose from a wide variety of dual degree programs that allow a predetermined number of credits from each program to count toward elective credits in the other program. It’s possible to earn both your law degree and a master’s degree or a U.S. and Canadian law degree in just four years.
If you are considering a dual degree program, you need to apply and be accepted into each program separately. Admission to the law program is required prior to accumulation of credits in either program.
