The Law School offers a dual-degree program with the McIntire School of Commerce that leads to both the J.D. and the M.S. in accounting degrees in seven semesters instead of the eight required if each degree was pursued independently. Candidates must be admitted separately to both the Law School and the McIntire School. Students may seek admission to the McIntire School and initiate the dual-degree program after beginning Law School. Students must meet the degree requirements for both schools to complete the program.
