Overview

Students within the Criminal Justice and Legal Studies areas can consider pursuing a J.D. while advancing their academic interest in the criminal justice field.

Our Goal

The goal of the Law and Criminal Justice - Dual Degree Program from Washburn University is to help equip students with knowledge and competence in both law and criminal justice topics for professional work where legal issues intersect with criminal justice matters.

The J.D. program at Washburn University School of Law requires 90 credit hours. The M.C.J. degree offers two options, the Capstone option and the Thesis option, both which require 36 credit hours. If the J.D. and the M.C.J. degrees were pursued separately, the two degrees would require 126 credit hours.

Under the dual degree program, certain law courses are accepted for credit and applied to the Master's degree, and certain Master's degree classes that correspond to law school elective courses would be substituted with the law school electives.
