Joint Degree Program Objectives
The College of Law places few restrictions on The University of Iowa graduate department/college in which a student might pursue graduate work while pursuing a law degree.  The "relatedness" of the dual degree objective is the main criterion; it is hoped that the joint degree student will contribute to one discipline the insights and experience gained in the other.  Currently, the most popular joint degree objectives include:

• JD/MBA (Management)
• JD/MPH (Public Health)
• JD/MHA (Health Management & Policy)
• JD/MA or MS (Urban & Regional Planning)
• JD/MA (Journalism)
• JD/PhD (Communication Studies)

Other graduate departments/colleges in which current law students are enrolled include:

• Accounting
• Biology
• Chemistry
• Economics
• Electrical and Computer Engineering
• Higher Education
• History
• Medicine
• Philosophy
• Political Science
• Preventative Medicine and Environmental Health
• Social Work
• Sociology
