• JD Admissions
• Dual Degree Programs

JD/PhD and JD/MA Programs

New York University School of Law (Law) and Graduate School of Arts and Science (GSAS) offer coordinated dual degree programs leading to a Juris Doctor (JD) and either a PhD or MA degree in two Arts and Science disciplines:

Law and GSAS also offer dual degree programs leading to a JD and MA in the following disciplines:

• French Studies
• Latin American and Caribbean Studies

Law and GSAS also offer dual degree programs leading to a JD and PhD in the following disciplines:

• American Studies
• Comparative Literature
• Computer Science
• Hebrew and Judaic Studies
• Italian Studies
• Mathematics
• Middle Eastern and Islamic Studies
• Neural Science
• Psychology (Cognition and Perception)

Students enrolled in these dual degree programs will work closely with faculty advisors in both the School of Law and GSAS to develop an integrated program of study and research. The programs are particularly aimed at students interested in pursuing academic careers. We expect that students who complete the JD/PhD program will be strong candidates for faculty positions in both law schools and in arts and sciences programs. The JD/MA programs provide rigorous interdisciplinary training for students interested in legal academia, but also for students who plan to pursue other career paths related to law.

These coordinated programs reduce the amount of time required to complete both degrees. The School of Law will count 12 credits of GSAS coursework toward the total of 83 credits required for the JD degree, typically allowing dual degree students to complete their JD coursework in five semesters rather than the usual six. All coursework must be approved by the respective program to count towards the dual degree program. Likewise, some law school coursework will count toward the PhD and MA program requirements, allowing students to accelerate the completion of those degrees. For students in the JD/MA program, both degrees are typically conferred at the end of four years (eight semesters) rather than the usual five years to complete both degrees separately. For students in the JD/PhD program, the JD is typically conferred at the end of the fourth year, while the student continues to complete the PhD requirements.

Prospective dual degree students must apply independently to both the School of Law and GSAS and be admitted to both. Current law students or GSAS doctoral students may apply to enter a dual degree program during their first year. Students looking to start the JD/PhD program at GSAS should inquire with the School of Law about the program sequence. Please refer to the GSAS website for information regarding funding for PhD candidates.

Students interested in a dual degree program are encouraged to contact Amy Chu, Senior Director of Academic Services and Registration at the School of Law ( [email protected] or 212-998-6020) or Tania Barnes at GSAS ( [email protected] ) for more information.

Psychology and Law

The Psychology and Law Program training area, with faculty, students, and labs based primarily at John Jay College, emphasizes training in research as well as in applied work, such as policy development. It prepares students to be academics and applied researchers who can provide professional psychological expertise to and within the criminal and civil legal systems. Our program values social justice and continuously strives to advocate for fair and equitable treatment across all members of our society. We recognize that our criminal and legal systems, both historically and currently, oppress and disadvantage people of specific races, ethnicities, gender identities, sexual orientations, national origins, and religious affiliations. Therefore, our program aims to train students in: 1. Basic psychological theory, 2. The application of psychological theories to legal and forensic contexts, and 3. How individuals’ identities, as well as the integration and intersectionality of various identities, influence their experiences within these contexts.

Lifestyle Brand Trailblazer Robin Wilson to Speak and Receive Alumni Award at 2024 NYU SPS Graduate Convocation

April 18, 2024

At May 17th's Radio City Music Hall NYU SPS Graduate Convocation, CLEAN DESIGN HOME ® founder and NYU SPS graduate Robin Wilson will address the Class of '24 and receive the 2024 NYU SPS Distinguished Alumni Award.

Wilson is the founder of CLEAN DESIGN HOME, a brand committed to bringing allergen aware consumers a lifestyle option of chic, non-toxic, sustainable linens, towels, candles, and mattress selections.

As a mother and someone who has struggled with asthma and allergies throughout her life, Wilson cites her pan-allergic childhood as the impetus for creating the CLEAN DESIGN HOME brand, which is available at Macy's, BELK, Wayfair, and Bed Bath & Beyond, and every brand of the military. She credits NYU SPS for helping her prepare for the post-graduation job market, noting, "NYU has tremendous alumni resources for jobs, charitable endeavors, and board service."

"Being a graduate student at NYU was at a pivotal moment in my life," says Wilson, a career changer who pivoted from the corporate world to being the first Black woman founder of a global allergen-aware lifestyle brand. "The connections and networks I made with fellow alumni continue to make a difference in my career," she adds. "I also met several professors who mentored me through the years."

One of those mentors was adjunct instructor Matthew Sheehy, who recently passed away. "He always encouraged me to stay focused on my dream and to make a difference," says Wilson. "My advice to the Class of '24 is for each of them to take one step every day toward their goals—but first set a goal, and then think about each step to achieve that vision."

"I have always wanted to be an entrepreneur. At age 29, I enrolled at NYU SPS. My maternal grandfather and great-grandfather were entrepreneurs—and my paternal grandfather was a sharecropper. Coming from such disparate heritage allowed me to see at a young age that being an entrepreneur has both rewards and challenges."

Wilson was thrust into the spotlight by O Magazine in 2005 and has had multiple media appearances over the years, including the brand launch on the ELLEN Show for their “12 Days of Christmas” giveaway, Wilson has an interior design division that has also completed high-profile design jobs for many residential and commercial spaces, including showcase projects for Good Housekeeping , the White House Fellows Office, and has seen her work published in many magazines. An author of two best-selling books, she was also selected to Inc Magazine’s “Top 100 Female Founders” in 2020.

"To be an entrepreneur means that you learn to be comfortable with discomfort. Entrepreneurship can take you on a rollercoaster journey, and always remember that fear and excitement are the same emotion—it just depends on which way you look at the moment." The entrepreneurial success Wilson has garnered since graduate school affirms that she took the advice of her NYU SPS mentor to heart and continues to "stay focused on a dream and work hard to make a difference."

Judge didn't deny Trump request to skip hush money trial for son's graduation | Fact check

The claim: Judge in hush-money trial told Trump he can’t attend son’s graduation

An April 16 Facebook post ( direct link , archive link ) shows side-by-side photos of former President Donald Trump and Judge Juan Merchan, who is overseeing Trump’s hush-money trial in New York.

“BREAKING: Donald Trump speaks out after Judge Merchan informed him that he could not attend his son Barron’s high school graduation or he will be jailed,” reads the post’s caption.

It was shared more than 100 times in a day. Similar versions were shared widely on Facebook and by Trump's son, Eric, on X, formerly Twitter .

Our rating: False

Merchan didn’t say that in his April 15 ruling. He did not rule that day on Trump's request to attend the graduation, delaying the decision instead. He said if the trial is on schedule he would be willing to adjourn for the day.

No ruling from judge on Trump’s graduation request

Trump, the first former U.S. president to stand trial in a criminal case, is accused of falsifying business records to disguise a $130,000 hush-money payment to a porn star and illegally influence the 2016 presidential election . His trial in New York started April 15, roughly a month before his youngest son, Barron, will graduate from a high school near Mar-a-Lago.

But Merchan did not say Trump couldn't attend the commencement ceremony and would risk being jailed if he did. Rather, the judge delayed the decision and did not issue a ruling of any kind on that request, according to multiple published reports .

Before jury selection began, attorney Todd Blanche asked Merchan to adjourn court for the day May 17 so Trump could attend the graduation, The Independent reported . Merchan did not specifically deny that request, instead saying he would not rule “at this time" and could not accommodate the request if the trial were to fall behind schedule, according to the newspaper.

The Associated Press reported that both Trump and one of his lawyers have children graduating soon and that while Merchan said he would not rule on the requests immediately, he would be willing to adjourn for one or both days.

“It really depends on how we’re doing on time and where we are in the trial,” the AP quoted Merchan as saying .

However, Merchan ruled against Trump on a separate request, declining to excuse the presumptive Republican presidential nominee from the trial to attend Supreme Court arguments on presidential immunity on April 25 in Washington, The Hill reported .

“Arguing before the Supreme Court is a big deal, and I can certainly appreciate why your client would want to be there, but a trial in New York Supreme Court … is also a big deal,” Merchan told Blanche, according to The Hill . “I will see him here next week.”

New York state law requires criminal defendants to attend their full trials unless they receive permission from the judge.

Trump faces 34 felony counts that each carry a maximum sentence of four years, although New York law caps such sentences at 20 years. Legal experts say if Trump is convicted, a realistic sentence ranges from probation to four years in prison, although Trump would likely remain free on appeal during the duration of the presidential election, USA TODAY reported .

Trump’s legal issues have spawned a significant amount of misinformation on social media. Among fabricated claims debunked by USA TODAY are assertions that Trump was prosecuted for repaying a loan , that he offered a Supreme Court nomination to the judge overseeing his classified documents case and that his lawyer offered a $10 million bribe to the New York judge who presided over his real estate fraud lawsuit.

USA TODAY reached out to the Facebook user who shared the post but did not immediately receive a response.

The Associated Press and FactCheck.org also debunked the claim.
