Juris Doctor/ MA in History in Omaha United States | University of Nebraska-Lincoln

A new student must independently apply for admission both to the College of Law and the History Department (through UNL's Graduate Studies). The History Department will accept Law School Admissions Test (LSAT) scores in lieu of Graduate Record Examination (GRE) scores for its application requirement. If the student is accepted by both the Law School and History, he or she is automatically admitted to the joint degree program. Admission to the Graduate College for the M.A. degree program in History is dependent upon favorable recommendation of the Graduate Committee of the Department of History. The committee considers the applicant's academic record, GRE or LSAT scores, a writing sample, a personal statement, and letters of recommendation. All transcripts, GREs, letters of recommendation, as well as the writing sample and personal statement must be received by that date.

Students may apply to both programs before beginning either. Students admitted into the joint program before beginning either program will take only law courses during their first year. Minimum English proficiency: Paper TOEFL 575, Internet TOEFL 90, IELTS 6.5
