The Stony Brook University School of Social Welfare and Touro College Jacob D. Fuchsberg Law Center offer a dual-degree program in which full-time students may pursue both a Master of Social Work (MSW) and a Juris Doctor (JD) degree in four years, reducing the time otherwise necessary to earn the degrees if taken separately.
Applicants for admission to the MSW/JD Dual-Degree program must meet the separate application requirements of each program and must be accepted for admission by each school independently.
Students must be accepted to Touro Law Center before beginning their studies at the School of Social Welfare for credits to be accepted by Touro. Applicants to the law school must submit LSAT scores and may apply to the dual-degree program before enrollment or during the first year of enrollment at Touro Law Center.
Details regarding the specific course requirements and their sequence for each degree, and the courses and grades for which each school will allow transfer credit, are available by contacting our admissions office: ssw_admissions@stonybrook.edu.
