Political Science

Public Administration, M.P.A. / J.D.

The School of Law, with the Graduate School, offers a program that enables a student to earn the Doctor of Jurisprudence (J.D.) and Master of Public Administration (M.P.A.) degrees in three to four years of academic work. This degree program may be particularly beneficial to students with interests in administrative positions within government, public agencies, and institutions.

Both degrees will be awarded upon completion of 108 hours (78 hours of law courses and a total of 30 hours of public administration hours). This is made possible by allowing 12 hours of approved law courses to transfer as elective credit toward the M.P.A. degree and vice versa. These transfers are of credit hours, not grades. Therefore, graduate coursework will not be computed in a student’s Law School GPA and class ranking.
