Overview
Study Law and Social Work at University of Texas at Austin
The School of Law and the School of Social Work offer a Dual Degree program leading to two graduate degrees: the Doctor of Jurisprudence (JD) and the Master of Science in Social Work (MSSW).
The Law (JD) and Social Work dual degree offered at University of Texas at Austin is structured so that students can earn both degrees in four academic years, rather than the five years it would take to complete each degree separately. In general, students will progress through the dual degree curriculum by completing either school's first-year course sequence during their first year, completing the other school's first-year course sequence during their second year, and then taking additional requirements, electives, and specialized courses during the subsequent two years. Both degrees are awarded when all requirements of the dual degree program have been met.
