With the rising demand for attorneys with interdisciplinary expertise, skills, and knowledge, Pitt Law offers several joint degree programs with other graduate schools within the University of Pittsburgh and Carnegie Mellon University.
These programs allow you to receive two degrees in a shorter time and with less cost than if you had pursued each independently. Upon enrollment in the joint-degree program, students must fulfill the modified degree requirements of both schools.
Enrolling in a joint degree program with Pitt Law is a straightforward process. You must apply and be admitted to the School of Law and the cooperative school. After acceptance and 30 days before matriculation to the cooperative school, you must complete the Joint Degree Notification Form. This step is crucial, as failure to complete this form could result in loss of financial aid, higher tuition fees, and other consequences.
