Saint Louis University School of Law and the College for Public Health and Social Justice have joined forces to offer the Juris Doctor and the Master of Health Administration (J.D./M.H.A.) dual degree program. A law degree combined with a master's in health administration prepares students to understand not only the complex workings of the legal system but the administrative needs of health care organizations, making them well suited for positions that directly impact the future of health policy and health care organizations, with the potential to affect the lives of thousands of patients.
