International Relations

J.D./M.A. in Law and International Relations

Recognizing the expanding role of international law, and the increasing interrelationship between law and international affairs, the School of Law and the Boston University Graduate School of Arts and Sciences, Department of International Relations, offer a dual degree program in law and international relations. A study of international relations and law provides an essential background for those assuming international positions in national governments or international agencies, and gives the international lawyer an essential perspective on the international environment in which he or she will operate. Students can complete the program in three-and-a-half years.
