This combined degree program enables students to obtain both a Juris Doctor and Master of Science in Education, along with a New York State-recognized Certificate of Advanced Study (CAS) in Disability Studies [PDF]. Disability Studies examines societal disability through legal, social, cultural, historical, and philosophical lenses, making this pioneering dual-degree program with a Disability Studies focus the first of its kind in the United States. Participants take specialized courses through the nationally top-ranked School of Education, whose Special Education and Cultural Foundations in Education Programs regularly place in the top 10 nationally. The program prepares graduates for careers in disability law and policy across government agencies, community organizations, advocacy groups, school systems, and specialized law practices. The J.D. and M.S. degrees can be completed together in just three years.

A Foreign Credential Evaluation will be completed by the American Association of Collegiate Registrars and Admissions Officers (AACRAO), which will be incorporated into your CAS report.
The TOEFL/IELTS score requirement will be waived for non-resident students who have completed a four-year undergraduate program or minimum of two years of graduate work in a U.S. college or university. The College of Law recommends a TOEFL score in the range of 100 or an IELTS score in the range of 7.0.
