Juris Doctor / Master of Public Policy

In cooperation with the School of Public Policy and Urban Affairs, this four-year, interdisciplinary public policy program prepares students for careers in government, nonprofit and legal organizations, and research.

After completing their first year of law school, students take one year of courses for the Master of Public Policy (MPP) and then return to the regular course of law study. Students examine a full range of strategies for creating policy change, including legislation, litigation, the ballot box and civil action. Students engage in policy analysis and applied research that develops real-world solutions to public policy challenges.

Students pursuing dual degrees plan their schedules with the assistance of advisors from the law school and the MPP program. Candidates for the JD/MPP program must independently apply and gain admission to the School of Law and the College of Social Sciences and Humanities. Admission to one school does not ensure admission to the other. Applicants interested in pursuing a concurrent degree do not need to duplicate the School of Law’s request for letters of recommendation, transcripts and standardized test scores. Applicants should complete the law school application and note on it that they are applying to MPP and submit the MPP application form to MPP, noting on it that they are applying to the School of Law.
