Through Pace's joint degree programs, a student may earn a JD while working on a second advanced degree. By enrolling in a joint degree program, a full-time student may complete both degrees within four years, instead of the five years of study required when each degree is pursued separately. Part-time students can complete a joint degree program in as few as six years. If you are interested in obtaining a joint degree, you must apply separately - and be admitted - to both Elisabeth Haub School of Law at Pace University and the relevant joint degree partner school. Full-time students must submit applications no later than during their fourth semester at Elisabeth Haub School of Law, part-time students must apply no later than during their fifth semester.
