Entry requirements

Other Curricular Offering: JD and MA in Latin American and Caribbean Studies Joint Degree Pathway An agreement approved by the University Graduate School, between the FIU College of Law and the Steven J. Green School of International and Public Affairs allows students to pursue simultaneously the Juris Doctor (JD) and MALACS degrees, thereby saving considerable time over pursuing each degree separately. Students must meet the entrance requirements for both the JD and MALACS programs. Fifteen credits from the law school curriculum will be allowed toward the MALACS program and will constitute a MALACS concentration in International and Comparative Law. Nine credits from the MALACS program will also count toward the law school curriculum requirements. All other requirements to receive either the JD or MALACS degree must be met. Additional information on the joint degree program is available
