Joint degree programs

The University of St. Thomas School of Law offers four joint degree programs. By combining courses for two degrees into one program, you are able to earn two advanced degrees in four years. Generally students apply to their second program once they have started at the School of Law. Admissions for the second degree program is handled through the academic partner program. We currently offer the following joint degrees:

For students not interested in a dual degree, it is possible to choose electives in another graduate program or through the Minnesota Law School Consortium. Through an agreement with the University of Minnesota School of Law, William Mitchell College of Law, and Hamline University School of Law, a UST Law student is allowed to register for certain courses at any of the other three law schools. Up to ten credits may be applied toward your UST Law degree through these programs.
