JD/MAS in Sustainability

Wake Forest University School of Law and the Graduate School of Arts and Sciences have designed a JD/Master of Arts in Sustainability degree program, which focuses on energy, environmental, and sustainability-related studies, to provide students a pathway for succeeding in professional roles where legal scholarship and practice intersect with sustainability. Students are able to earn two advanced degrees in as few as three years.

When undertaken as part of the joint JD/MAS in Sustainability program, the JD degree requires completion of 75 hours of law course work including the degree requirements prescribed by the Law School for graduation.
Students will be provided a faculty adviser from each school to help guide them through the program and its curriculum. To make the most of the degree program, students will meet with both advisers at least once during each semester.
Candidates for the JD/MS joint degree must apply both to the Graduate School of Arts and Sciences and the School of Law, following the admissions requirements of the respective programs, and be accepted to each program in order to pursue a dual degree.
Students must notify the law school of their intention to pursue a dual degree before undertaking the program by completing the Notice of Intention to Pursue a Dual Degree Form.
