Public Administration and Law (J.D./M.P.A.)
Florida State Law and Askew School of Public
Administration's joint degree program in Law and
Public Administration, J.D./M.P.A., permits
completion of both degree programs concurrently.
Applicants must apply for acceptance to both
colleges according to the individual department's
admission criteria.
For the joint degree program, both the GRE and
LSAT must be taken in order to be considered.
Applicants to the Public Administration program
must have a bachelor's degree, an upper division
(junior and senior) grade point average of 3.0 or better
or a minimum combined score of 1000 on the
verbal and quantitative portions of the GRE. At the College of Law, for the Fall 2009 entering class, the average LSAT score was a 161 and the median GPA was a 3.53.
Once a student is accepted into both colleges, he or she
must then complete an application for the joint
degree program, located at Florida State Law's Office of Admissions and Records. This is
normally done during the first year of law school.
The first year of study is generally done at the law school.
