Overview

Applicants with baccalaureate degrees in any field who meet the entrance requirements of each program are eligible to apply.

Integrate your studies in social work & law

The joint JD/MSW program lets you integrate your social work studies and your law school education on either a full-time or part-time schedule, with classes offered in both day and evening hours.
Both degrees may be completed full-time in 4.5 calendar years, and may be accelerated by taking summer courses. A part-time student typically completes both degrees in 5 to 6.5 years depending on the amount of summer study. Students must complete both degrees within 7 years.
