JD/MS Environmental Science

Rising interest in the connection between sustainable economic development and environmental protection has increased the demand for professionals with both legal and technical training. To meet this demand, the University of Idaho College of Law and the University of Idaho College of Graduate Studies Environmental Science Program offer a concurrent degree program.

The concurrent program combines the study of scientific, social, philosophical and legal aspects of environmental issues.

The program is designed to allow students to obtain both a J.D. from the College of Law as well as a M.S. Environmental Science from the College of Graduate Studies in as few as eight semesters.


Admission

To be eligible for the concurrent Juris Doctor (J.D.)/Master of Science (M.S.) in Environmental Science program, you must apply separately and be admitted into each program and then be admitted into the concurrent degree program. Admission into the concurrent degree program is dependent on a demonstrated ability to excel in an intense, interdisciplinary educational environment.
