Program

Law, J.D. and Political Science and Public Affairs

Summary

Saint Louis University's dual Master of Arts in Political Science and Public Affairs/Juris Doctor program allows students to obtain a legal education alongside in-depth training in analyzing systems of governance, political activities, and behavior.

Students can typically complete the program in four years, with less time and expense than would be incurred completing the two degrees separately.

 

Students select a concentration within the M.A. program (American politics, international affairs, political thought, or public policy and administration) or design an alternative course of study compatible with their research areas of interest. At the same time, law students may pursue a concentration (health law, international and comparative law, employment law, or intellectual property law) that could complement and enhance their political science research. Law students can pursue experiential learning opportunities at judicial, public interest, criminal, corporate or health law field placements that provide tangible experience in putting legal and political concepts into practice.

The dual degree is compatible with any concentration or topic in SLU's political science and public affairs master's program. A student interested in the role law plays in American society, for instance, might focus on courses on American political institutions and public law. In contrast, a student interested in international law might combine the J.D. with a concentration in international affairs.
