The J.D./Master of Agricultural Sciences joint degree at Penn State Law and the College of Agricultural Sciences enables students to earn both a Juris Doctor and a master’s degree in an agricultural field in a reduced timeframe. Students benefit from interdisciplinary study by integrating rigorous legal education with advanced graduate coursework in agricultural sciences. The program is designed for those wishing to pursue careers that blend legal practice and agricultural expertise, including policy-making, regulatory law, environmental compliance, agribusiness, and public service. Students can apply up to 12 credits of approved graduate coursework toward their J.D., with careful planning and coordinated study through both schools. Typically, students are admitted separately to each program and must meet the admission requirements for both. Joint degrees generally require four years of full-time study, although this may be reduced depending on the chosen agricultural master’s program duration. 来源： https://ed.psu.edu/joint-jdphd-ded-med-penn-state-law
