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.

Questions and inquiries should be directed to Professor Seth Jolly, Director of Graduate Studies, (skjolly@maxwell.syr.edu). Students with general questions and inquiries concerning procedures regarding joint degrees should contact Courtney Abbott Hill; Associate Director for Academic and Bar Support, Suite 220 College of Law (443-1146, cabbotth@law.syr.edu).
