Earn your law and public health graduate degrees in an accelerated period of study, generally four years for highly-motivated students. This joint degree is designed for law students who seek an interdisciplinary perspective in shaping public health compliance, legislation, and policy. The program equips future health lawyers with a more robust understanding of the health science behind issues in health law and policy. You will learn to consider health issues not merely from an individual perspective, but by embracing an understanding of health as a population issue open to legal intervention.
