Vanderbilt Law School provides various dual-degree options in partnership with other Vanderbilt University graduate programs. Applicants need to submit separate applications and gain admission to each school individually, with financial aid managed separately by each institution. The Ph.D. in Law & Economics differs, featuring a combined admissions procedure and comprehensive fellowship funding that includes full tuition and a stipend for both degrees. Additionally, while J.D./M.S.F. candidates must apply to each program separately, they may qualify for law school scholarships during their business school enrollment term.
Qualified applicants with bachelor’s or comparable non-U.S. degrees are eligible for admission to the Graduate School. Applications from international students with three-year bachelor’s degrees will also be considered.
The minimum acceptable score on the paper-based TOEFL is 570, and for the Internet-based test, 88. Many programs, however, require a considerably higher level of proficiency.
For IELTS, the minimum acceptable score will vary by program. In many cases, a score of at least 7.0 is desirable.
