Columbia University’s outstanding graduate and professional schools provide Columbia Law students with the chance to participate in the life of a great research university. Through our dual degree programs at the university and joint degree programs with outstanding partner institutions, 1L and 2L students with interdisciplinary interests can further their intellectual exploration and career objectives by pursuing two degrees simultaneously.
Our options include:
- Ten (10) dual degree programs with other graduate programs at Columbia University.
- One (1) joint degree program with the Princeton School of Public and International Affairs.
- Design your own dual or joint degree program (contingent on approval from both schools).
- If you are looking for a dual/joint degree program that is not listed, you can submit a petition for the Law School to accept one term of full-time residency and up to twelve (12) academic credits for coursework completed toward a graduate degree program at another graduate or professional school, provided the other school reciprocates.
This accelerated pathway saves time and money by allowing you to spend fewer semesters in residence at each school.
