Masters program after law school?

Graduate School
1

<p>Does anyone know about how hard it is to get into a masters program (Poli Sci), after I earn a law degree? Do they not even care when you apply? The reason I ask, is because I’ll be three years off from my Poli Sci undergraduate studies. </p>

<p>I would like to earn a M.A., and hopefully pursue a Ph.D., but paying for the programs is a huge concern for me, so I expect to be working extensively while earning my master’s (hence, the law degree). </p>

<p>Honestly, with a JD, I believe you can apply for Ph. D after law school. A Masters in unncecessary</p>

<p>My friend is in law school and she is considering a Doctorate right out of law school.</p>

<p>Aren't there some combined programs for JD/PhD?</p>

<p>Oh, there are. But I've gotten some feedback about these joint degrees, recommending against them. Does anyone here have an opinion or experience?</p>

<p>What kind of feedback?</p>

<p>It's cheaper to do a joint JD and PhD program. That way, you get the Master's degree (you can leave the program) for free.</p>
