Please join us for pizza while we discuss UNC’s M.A./J.D. and Ph.D./J.D. Media Law Dual Degree Programs

Have you thought about what you want to do after you graduate? Thinking about a career in media law or policy, including privacy law, intellectual property or AI law? UNC’s dual degree programs in media law provide a fantastic launching pad for a career in law, media, business, entertainment, government, public policy or academia.

The nationally renowned UNC Hussman School of Journalism and Media and UNC School of Law offer two exciting dual degree programs in media law and policy that allow students to earn simultaneous M.A./J.D. or Ph.D./J.D. degrees in less time than it would take to earn the individual degrees separately. An earned master’s degree is required to apply for the dual Ph.D./J.D. degree program.

And great news for prospective dual degree students: If you have taken the LSAT, you do not need to also take the GRE; your LSAT score can be substituted for the GRE!

Dual degree students often work with the UNC Center for Media Law and Policy.  Members of the program’s faculty will be available to answer your questions.

We will be holding two information sessions for the Dual Degree Program this fall.  This session on October 9 is primarily geared for applicants who are not already enrolled in a JD program, including current undergraduate and graduate students. We will hold another session on October 11 at 12:00 PM at the UNC School of Law for current law students.  For more information on the law school session, please see our separate event listing.

The session will be simulcast on Zoom, so if you can’t make it in person, just join us on Zoom by going here: https://go.unc.edu/medialaw2023
