Overview
The University of Minnesota is training experts in the legal, ethical, and policy problems posed by health, the sciences, and the environment in the 21st century. The University's unique Joint Degree Program in Law, Health & the Life Sciences allows students to combine a law degree with one of a broad range of graduate and professional degrees in health and the life sciences.
Students in the Joint Degree Program are able to obtain a JD together with an MS, PhD, MD, MHA, or MPH in less time and with more academic support and potentially more financial support than if they pursued the two degrees separately. Our students are becoming leaders in areas such as managed care and health policy, intellectual property issues in biotechnology, and environmental law and policy.
The Program presents a 3-part lecture series, the Deinard Memorial Lecture, and an annual conference to draw scholars in these fields to campus. Students are also able to take advantage of close relationships we are building between the Joint Degree Program and practicing attorneys, policymakers, and business people.
