An applicant interested in a concurrent degree program must gain independent admission to Boalt Hall as well as to the other participating school or department. The latter is accomplished by filing a separate application with the Berkeley Graduate Division. Applicants should contact both units as early as possible, although arrangements may be made with the other unit early in the first year of study at Boalt. Concurrent degree candidates are strongly encouraged to begin the first year of the program at the Law School. All concurrent degree candidates are required to pay a Professional Degree Fee for three years regardless of the time needed to obtain the J.D. degree.
Special advisers are available to assist admitted applicants and enrolled students.
Because much of the work in some participating schools requires a background in quantitative methods, including statistics, advanced planning of one's undergraduate curriculum is helpful. For questions or comments regarding this section, please contact the Admissions Office .
