Rutgers Law School is dedicated to preparing students to excel in their legal careers. As part of this commitment, in addition to the standard J.D. program, we offer alternative J.D. programs, including programs that allow students to jumpstart their legal education early and a program for foreign lawyers to earn their J.D. at an accelerated pace. Please see below for more information on these specialized J.D. programs.
Rutgers Law School also offers programs for students who are interested in the law as well as another field. Interdisciplinary studies that familiarize law students with social science vocabularies and non-legalistic methods of problem solving are encouraged. Students may enroll in courses offered by other Rutgers graduate programs to pursue a dual-degree with any of several other academic disciplines within the university, or they can create their own dual degree programs with other educational institutions.
