Joint Degree Programs
Yale Law School encourages an interdisciplinary approach to the law. Some students choose to combine their law studies with a program at another professional or graduate school, either at Yale University or another institution. These joint degrees are intended to complement the JD by providing specialized skills and a body of knowledge in another discipline. In recent years, about 30-40 Yale Law students have been enrolled in joint degree programs at any given time.
