Joint Degree Programs

Students may register for up to six hours of graduate school courses without permission from Emory Law (though the permission of your instructor may be required) and, if there is good reason, for additional hours. These hours may be credited toward your law degree. In addition, there are opportunities for joint degrees that involve substantial study of international and comparative law. These include:

• JD/MPH with the Rollins School of Public Health
• JD/MBA with the Goizueta Business School, in which a student may concentrate on international business and trade
• JD/MDiv with Candler School of Theology
• JD/MTS with Candler School of Theology

• JD/PhD with the Graduate School of Arts and Sciences

U.S. students also may participate in a joint JD/LLM program in International Law. Students spend one semester studying international law at Central European University in Budapest and one semester at Emory Law.
