Juris Doctor/Master of Arts in International Relations

This joint degree—conferred in collaboration with the globally recognized Maxwell School—offers students a unique opportunity to combine their practical knowledge of world affairs with a J.D. from the College of Law. The Master of Arts in International Relations (MAIR) combines rigorous, multidisciplinary coursework with real-world skills to give graduates an edge in the global job market. The curriculum requires the completion of five different career tracks, second language proficiency, and a professional capstone experience. Students may obtain the J.D. and MAIR in three years instead of the four necessary to earn both degrees independently. Students also can pursue a Certificate of Advanced Study in National Security and Counterterrorism Law through the Institute for National Security and Counterterrorism.
