The Law Center, Graduate School, and Walsh School of Foreign Service provide a four-year combined program in international studies that awards both a Master of Arts in German and European Studies (MAGES) and a Juris Doctor (J.D.). This career-focused curriculum blends specialized regional studies with comprehensive legal training. Participants complete a minimum of 110 credits over four years: 74 credits in law courses and 36 credits in MAGES coursework. Typically, students start at the Law School, dedicate their second year to MAGES studies, then divide their time between both programs during the final two years.
