Tuck joint degree programs
A four-year program (120 weeks of residency credit).Graduates of the program will be equipped to practice law with a fuller understanding of its intersections with the historical, social and cultural dimensions of the African-American experience, and to provide essential social and political leadership within or for the African-American community. This is the first program of its kind in the country. UCLA School of Law and UCLA’s Department of African-American Studies offer a four-year, concurrent degree program leading to both a J.D. Students interested in creating an individualized joint degree program, or pursuing a joint degree program with another university, must work with the UCLA Law Dean of Students office during their first or second years of law school to seek approval for the joint degree. Applicants should contact the appropriate graduate school or department to obtain its application, and must meet the department's requirements and deadlines. To pursue one of our formal joint degree programs, students must apply both to UCLA Law and directly to the other school.
