Overview
School of Law Dual Degree Sequencing
The Juris Doctor (Dual Degrees) J.D program is offered by Liberty University.
This approval ensures compliance with the law school’s policies regarding the total number of credit hours permitted for law school students. Visit the programme website for more information
Qualifications for, and enrollment in, non-J.D. courses offered by Liberty University are established and managed by Liberty University and not the law school.
First-year law students may not take non-J.D. courses. It is the purview of the administration to limit a dual degree participant’s academic load while they are actively pursuing a juris doctorate degree if the current course load hinders the participant’s course of study in the J.D.
For further questions about the sequencing of a dual degree program, see the law school’s registrar and the Associate Dean for Academic Affairs.
