Overview

On its own, the J.D. program at the Washburn University School of Law requires 90 credit hours; the Master of Accountancy program at the Washburn University School of Business requires 30 master's level credit hours (see sidebar).

Thus, pursued separately, the two degrees would require 120 credit hours.

Under the Law and Accountancy - Dual Degree program, certain courses are accepted for credit by both schools: six credit hours of business-related law school courses may count toward the M.Acc, and six credit hours of business school courses in the M.Acc may count toward the J.D. Students can therefore obtain both degrees with a total of 108 credit hours.

About the programme

Students may choose to begin either their legal studies or their accounting studies first. Whenever they start the law school program, students must take the full first-year curriculum, all of which consists of required courses, without interruption. Students will not be permitted to take business school courses during the first year of law school. After completing the first year of the law school curriculum, if students simultaneously take courses in both programs, the total number of credits enrolled in at one time must stay within the parameters required by the American Bar Association's standards governing accredited law schools. Students are also required to participate in the various orientation and assessment activities of both programs.
