Law and Economics (J.D./M.S.)
The Florida State University College of Law views the joint JD/MS in Economics as an integral part of its exciting new focus on Law, Economics and Business. Students in this joint degree program not only take graduate classes in the Economics Department and the Law School, but they also enjoy the opportunity to work on academic projects at the Law School with professors doing cutting-edge research on the intersection of law and both empirical and theoretical economics. The Law School offers some scholarships for select students interested in pursuing this joint degree.
Applicants must apply for admission
to both colleges.
Both the GRE and
LSAT must be taken in order to be considered. Applicants
to the Economics Department must have a
bachelor's degree, an upper division (junior and senior)
grade point average of 3.0 or better and a minimum
combined score of 1000 on the verbal and
