攻读该双学位课程的学生将与法学院和GSAS的教职顾问紧密合作，以制定综合的学习与研究计划。该计划特别针对有兴趣从事学术职业的学生。我们希望完成JD / PhD课程的学生将成为法学院以及艺术和科学课程中教师职位的有力候选人。JD / MA计划为对法律学术界感兴趣的学生以及计划寻求与法律相关的其他职业道路的学生提供严格的跨学科培训。这些协调的计划减少了完成两个学位所需的时间。法学院将把GSAS课程的12个学分计入法学博士学位所需的83个学分中，通常允许双学位学生在五个学期而不是通常的六个学期中完成法学博士学位
New York University School of Law (Law) and Graduate School of Arts and Science (GSAS) offer coordinated dual degree programs leading to a Juris Doctor (JD) and either a PhD or MA degree in three Arts and Science disciplines: Economics, Philosophy, Politics. <br>These coordinated programs reduce the amount of time required to complete both degrees. The School of Law will count 12 credits of GSAS coursework toward the total of 83 credits required for the JD degree, typically allowing dual degree students to complete their JD coursework in five semesters rather than the usual six. All coursework must be approved by the respective program to count towards the dual degree program. Likewise, some law school coursework will count toward the PhD and MA program requirements, allowing students to accelerate the completion of those degrees. For students in the JD/MA program, both degrees are typically conferred at the end of four years (eight semesters) rather than the usual five years to complete both degrees separately. For students in the JD/PhD program, the JD is typically conferred at the end of the fourth year, while the student continues to complete the PhD requirements.
