Social Work and Law (J.D./M.S.W.)
The College of Law and the College of Social Work’s
joint-degree program in Law and Social Work, J.D./M.S.W., permits completion of both degree programs concurrently. Interested applicants must first begin their study at the College of Law. Once enrolled in the first-year law curriculum, they will complete all necessary documentation for the application process through the College of Social Work as well as a joint-degree application by the end of the first year at the law school. All required documents should be returned to the College of Law Office of Admissions.
