Social Work (MSW) and Law (JD)
The Silver School and the NYU School of Law offer a program in which students may simultaneously pursue study leading to an MSW and a Juris Doctor (JD). By taking courses that are acceptable for transfer credit in both of the schools involved and through careful course planning, the dual-degree student can complete both degrees within a four-year period. Admission to both programs is required and neither degree will be conferred until the requirements for both are fulfilled.
