The Juris Doctor combined with either a Master of Science or Master of Arts in communications represents dual-degree programs offered through collaboration between the S.I. Newhouse School of Public Communications and the College of Law. Candidates accepted into these programs can simultaneously pursue their J.D. alongside an M.S. or M.A. degree across multiple communications disciplines, completing both in significantly less time than pursuing each degree separately.
These interdisciplinary communications degrees equip graduates for professional paths in media law, public affairs, news media, and entertainment sectors. Enrollment options span diverse specializations such as advertising, arts journalism, digital journalism, media research, visual storytelling, corporate communications, and broadcast media production. Program length depends on the selected concentration and the student's academic background.
