Overview

The Combined Degree Program (CDP): STG, Law, Juris Doctor / Master of Information is designed for students who wish to combine graduate training in information with a degree in law. The CDP permits completion of both degrees in four years rather than the five years it would take to acquire them independently.

For a general description of CDPs, see General Regulations section 1.4.3.

• Applicants must gain independent admission to both the Juris Doctor (JD) and Master of Information (MI) programs before they may be considered for admission to the CDP.

• Applicants admitted to both the JD and MI must inform both programs of their status and request admission to the CDP.

  • Applicants may also be considered for the CDP while they are in Year 1 of either the JD or the MI program. Interested students should contact their home Faculty about this before applying to the CDP.

Minimum Admission Requirements

• Applicants must meet the admission requirements of the JD program, the School of Graduate Studies, and the MI program.

Academic Path to Completion

Every CDP involves a specific combination of approved degree programs. The CDP requirements build on those of the two separate degree programs. Each CDP has a unique pattern of academic activity year by year.
