JD/Master of Theological Studies
In collaboration with Duke Divinity School, Duke Law School offers the opportunity to pursue a JD/Master of Theological Studies dual degree. Candidates apply separately to the Law School and the Divinity School and receive independent admission decisions. » Application information
Students admitted to the JD/MTS program complete both degrees in four years. Some choose to spend their first year at the law school, and their second year at the Divinity School, and take classes from both during their third and fourth years. Others reverse the order of the first two years of study, beginning at the Divinity School and then completing the first year of law school.
