As early as next fall, Tech students could enroll in a new joint program with Emory University that lets them earn both a bachelor’s and juris master’s degree in as little as five years.
The new program allows students to pursue any bachelor’s degree at Tech, followed by one year of coursework at Emory School of Law. Once students complete coursework at both institutions, they will receive both degrees.
“This is ideal for students who decide early on that they want a career path which will require expertise in law,” said Steven Girardot, associate vice provost for Undergraduate Education.
