Return to the Department of English Language and Literature .

Return to Joint Degree Programs .  

The Department of English Language and Literature is not accepting applications or matriculating new graduate students into J.D./M.A. program beyond the fall 2019 term.  The information below is for reference purposes only and does not constitute an intent to consider or admit new students beyond the fall 2019 term.

The curriculum consists of 78 credit hours of law courses, including all required subjects as established by the College of Law, 27 credit hours in the graduate English program, as approved by the graduate English advisor and the Graduate English Program Committee, and 18 to 24 hours of prerequisite undergraduate English courses stipulated by the Graduate English Program Committee.

The student must consult with the J.D./M.A. English Joint Degree Committee in selecting elective courses and must agree to take all courses recommended by the committee. This program eliminates 19 hours of coursework which would be required if the programs in law and English were taken separately.
