J.D./M.A. in Economics

The Juris Doctor and Master of Arts in Economics joint degree program is designed to educate lawyers in the basics of economics so they can practice in areas of law that rely on economic information and understanding. Students interested in the J.D./M.A. in Economics program may individually arrange a joint degree program with the College of Law and the Syracuse University Department of Economics. Credit hours and other degree requirements for joint degree candidates would be discussed with the Economics Department; the College of Law allows 15 credit hours toward the J.D., taken in Economics.

Questions and inquiries may be directed to Professor Robin Paul Malloy at the College of Law (room 226-3359 rpmalloy@law.syr.edu), and to Professor Stuart Brown, Economics Department, 323 Eggers hall (ssbrown@maxwell.syr.edu). Students with general questions and inquiries concerning procedures regarding joint degrees should contact Keri Foster, Associate Director for Student Life, Suite 444 College of Law (443-1146, kdfoster@law.syr.edu.)
