BA/JD (3+3) Applicants
For the BA/JD (3+3), high-achieving first-year undergraduate students are admitted simultaneously to the College of Liberal Arts and Social Sciences or the College of Communication and the College of Law. Students complete their first three years in the college that hosts their BA program and their final three years in the College of Law. To begin the application process, please contact the Undergraduate Admission Office.
JD/Masters Applicants
Students seeking a graduate degree with a college outside of the College of Law must independently apply and be admitted to the other degree program. Before beginning a joint degree program with another college, both full- and part-time law students must complete the required first-year curriculum and achieve a minimum grade point average of 3.00 in those courses.
Full-time JD Day students typically apply to the graduate program in the summer prior to their second year of law school. Part-time JD Evening students typically apply in the spring semester of their second year.
After admission to the other graduate program, the joint degree applicant must submit a copy of the acceptance letter and law school transcript to the Assistant Dean for Student Affairs at the College of Law. The transcript and acceptance letter must be accompanied by a cover letter from the student requesting that the student's program be changed from JD to the joint degree program. The letter must include the student's full name, student identification number, mailing address, email address and phone number. The student also should schedule a meeting with the appropriate adviser in the graduate school to discuss the curriculum.
JD/MIEBL Applicants
Full-time JD Day students in the JD/Master in International & European Business Law (MIEBL) complete their second year of law school at Universidad Pontificia Comillas Law School, earning both degrees within the standard three-year JD program. All courses are taught in English and count toward both degrees. No prior background in business law is required, and full financial aid is available.
