Dual Degrees Admission
Joint MPA-JD Program
To enter the joint program, candidates must apply separately to the School of Law and the Graduate School and be accepted by both.
Applications and other admission requirements for the School of Law may be obtained from:
Office of Admissions
School of Law
Texas Tech University
P.O. Box 40004
Lubbock, TX 79409
http://www.law.ttu.edu/admissions/default.asp
This application must be supported by scores on the Law School Aptitude Test (LSAT). On the application for both schools, candidates should indicate their desire to enter the Joint MPA-JD program. The LSAT examination should be taken as early as possible in the senior year for timely consideration of admission applications by both schools. In no case will a student be permitted to enter the joint program if the student has not been accepted to the MPA part of the program by the end of the student’s fourth semester in law school. Further information on this program can be obtained from the MPA program director.

Students wishing to pursue this dual degree program must apply to, and be accepted by, both the Master of Public Administration program in the Department of Political Science and the Department of Economics. An applicant’s GPA, GRE score, two letters of recommendation, and an essay, are factors considered for admission.
