Degree Programs
Admission
Concentrations in Law and Religion: LLM, SJD
Prospective candidates for the Master of Laws (LLM) Concentration or the Doctor of Juridical Science (SJD) Concentration must apply to Emory Law.
Joint Degrees in Law and Religion
Prospective candidates for the joint-degree programs in law and religion (JD/MTS, JD/MDiv, JD/PhD) must apply separately to each school, and be admitted by each school. A student must also apply separately for scholarships and financial aid in each school.
Once matriculated at Emory, candidates in law and religion take one full year of study in one school, then one full year of study in the other school. From the third year forward, candidates take a mixture of courses in both schools each semester. Included among the electives available are a dozen law and religion courses, which law and religion candidates can take for credit in either school.
Each semester, candidates pay tuition to the school in which they are registered, regardless of the mixture of courses they happen to take that semester. All scholarships and financial aid packages are handled separately by each school, and are applied only during the semester in which the student is registered in that school. CSLR offers modest additional research stipends and scholarships for selected law and religion candidates in their final two years of study.
