Return to Joint Degree Programs .  

The Department of History is not accepting applications or matriculating new graduate students 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 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.
