History, J.D./M.A.

Return to the Department of History .

Return to Joint Degree Programs .  

The curriculum consists of 78 credit hours of law courses as established by the College of Law, 24 hours (thesis option) or 27 hours (non-thesis) of graduate courses in history, and 24 hours of prerequisite undergraduate history courses. A maximum of 9 credit hours of 6000-level coursework may be applied to the history portion of the joint-degree.

This program eliminates 16 to 19 hours of coursework which would be required if the law and history programs were taken separately.
