A Holistic Education for Today’s Connected World
The Law School offers several joint degrees that help students pave the way to the careers they want. Our rigorous, cross-disciplinary programs train students to be leaders in the study of law as well as related disciplines like business, communications, health, technology, and more. We push our Law School community to find these diverse, new perspectives to today’s complex challenges, because we believe the next generation of legal professionals will have a greater understanding of the world, not just the laws within it.
