Does the joint degree take less time to complete than pursuing both degrees separately?
Yes. The joint degree program permits full-time students taking approximately 15 credit hours per semester to finish the program in less than four years, compared to five years if completely separately. Students can substitute up to 14 hours of MPA coursework toward the JD degree and up to 14 hours of JD coursework toward the MPA, which saves a total of 28 credit hours. Students who take courses in the summer may be able to graduate even faster.
