At the end of three years of graduate study, including at least one summer, you may graduate with both the Master of Arts and the Juris Doctor degree.
You must apply separately to the School of Law and the Graduate Division of St. John's College of Liberal Arts and Sciences and meet all requirements for admission to both programs as set forth in the respective Bulletins.
If you are currently enrolled in the School of Law, you may apply prior to completion of your second year of study. You may, however, need to spend an additional semester or more in full-time study for the M.A. If you are currently enrolled in the M.A. program, you may also apply for the dual degree.
The Deans of both schools must approve the course of study for all M.A./J.D. students.
Professional licensure and certification requirements often vary from state to state. St. John's University has not determined requirements for individual states beyond New York. If you reside or plan to reside outside New York, you are strongly encouraged to contact the appropriate state licensing agency in that state to seek information and guidance before beginning the program.
