To gain a complete grasp of legal practice, it's essential to comprehend the political systems that shape how laws are made and understood. The dual B.S./M.A. program in Legal Studies and Government and Politics offers an in-depth exploration of the U.S. legal framework and the political institutions influencing all facets of legal work. This accelerated program enables you to earn both degrees in only five years of full-time coursework.
This combined B.S./M.A. program gives eligible students the opportunity to pursue their bachelor's in Legal Studies and master's in Government and Politics concurrently. During your undergraduate Legal Studies coursework, you'll take four designated graduate-level Government and Politics classes. These credits will count toward your bachelor's degree even if you choose not to pursue the master's program after four years.
