Admissions Requirements for Dual Degree Law Program - Long Island, NY
Admissions
Combined Degree Students
Touro Law offers a JD/MSW dual degree with State University of New York at Stony Brook and a 3+1 JD/MBA program with Touro Graduate School of Business. Applicants for admission to the JD/MSW program must meet the separate application requirements of each program and must be accepted for admission by each school independently. Applicants to the dual degree program may apply to the Master's degree in Social Work prior to enrollment or during the first year of enrollment at Touro Law. Students must be accepted to Touro Law prior to beginning their students at the School of Social Welfare in order for credits to be accepted by Touro Law.
Combined-degree candidates benefit from:
- The reciprocal transfer of credits, thereby reducing the time required to obtain the combined degrees by up to one year.
- Potential tuition savings. The Law Center's tuition is charged at the prevailing per-credit rate (instead of per full-time/part-time semester) when students are taking classes simultaneously at Touro Law and at SUNY Stony Brook.
