Law/Computer Science

The Juris Doctor and Master’s of Science are combined degrees which may be conferred by the College of Law and Syracuse University’s L.C. Smith College of Engineering and Computer Science (LCS). A J.D./M.S. in Computer Science could significantly enhance the scope of a student’s legal education in areas such as computers, technology and intellectual property law. Students enrolled in this joint degree program may obtain their J.D. and M.S. degrees in substantially less time than would be necessary if the two programs were pursued separately.

Students with general questions and inquiries concerning procedures regarding joint degrees should contact Keri Foster, Associate Director for Student Life, Suite 220 College of Law (443-1146, kdfoster@law.syr.edu).
