Joint-Degree Programs
Florida State Law offers joint-degree programs in cooperation with other colleges, schools and departments of the university. The joint-degree programs enable students to earn two degrees concurrently, the Juris Doctor and the Master's. Florida State Law offers joint-degree programs in conjunction with the College of Business as well as with the departments of Economics, Family and Child Sciences, International Affairs, Public Administration, Social Work, Urban and Regional Planning, and, most recently, with the School of Information Studies.
The following links provide, first of all, general information about all joint-degree programs, then information that relates to specific programs.
It is not necessary to apply for both programs at the same time. Students pursuing a joint degree generally spend the first year of the program enrolled in the law school. During the first year of law school, students should submit a departmental application directly to the graduate program of choice (application deadlines may vary). Upon admission to both programs, students must file a joint-degree approval form with the Florida State Law Office of Admissions and Records. The joint-degree approval form requires certification and the signature of the appropriate faculty advisors at the law school and the graduate department.
