Degree Requirements

The Juris Doctor/Master of Arts and Juris Doctor/Doctor of Philosophy in Political Science are joint degrees which may be conferred by the College of Law and the Syracuse University Political Science Department. Students enrolled in these programs may obtain their J.D./M.A. or J.D./Ph.D. in Political Science in substantially less time than would be necessary if both programs were separately pursued.

Students with general questions and inquiries concerning procedures regarding joint degrees should contact the College of Law Registrar’s Office, Suite 220 Dineen Hall (studentrecords@law.syr.edu)
