Joint Degrees

Home   >  Academics   >  Joint Degrees

One of the many advantages Miami Law students enjoy is participation in the life of a great university. The University of Miami offers a range of excellence across many disciplines and studying in a joint degree program allows J.D. students to strengthen academic study, boost professional expertise, and save time and tuition money over earning degrees separately.

LL.M. - Master of Laws Degrees

These are degrees taken concurrently at the law school; usually students who participate in one of these programs and take the requisite number of credits during their J.D. studies can complete an LL.M. degree in only one additional semester.
