New York University School of Law (Law) and the Graduate School of Arts and Science (GSAS) provide integrated dual degree options combining a Juris Doctor (JD) with either a PhD or MA in three disciplines: Economics, Philosophy, or Politics. These streamlined programs shorten the timeline for earning both degrees. The Law School accepts 12 credits from GSAS courses toward the 83-credit JD requirement, enabling most dual degree candidates to finish their JD studies in five semesters instead of six. All courses must receive approval from both programs to qualify for the dual degree. Similarly, certain law school classes can fulfill PhD or MA requirements, helping students complete those degrees faster. JD/MA candidates typically earn both degrees within four years (eight semesters), compared to the standard five years if pursued separately.
