Duquesne's School of Law and the Bayer School of Natural and Environmental Sciences cooperate in a joint program that enables a student to earn both the Juris Doctor and Master of Science degrees in just four years.

Candidates for this program apply to each school independently and, upon admission, are expected to consult with the Program Director in each school to plan their respective programs.

Candidates may begin their cooperative program either in the Bayer School of Natural and Environmental Sciences or in the School of Law. In either case, the first year of study in the School of Law is taken solely in the School of Law. The remainder of the program may be taken jointly in the School of Law and the Bayer School of Natural and Environmental Sciences.

The specific course requirements and limitations for the program may be obtained by contacting The Law School's Admissions Office.

For more information about the joint JD/MS program, contact the Law School Office of Admissions at 412.396.6296.
