Program Description:

Law and Public Policy (formerly "Law, Policy and Society") is an interdisciplinary program that offers the Ph.D. and M.S. degrees. It prepares students for careers in research, teaching, government, non-profit, or legal institutions. Our courses examine how law, regulation, and policy interact with social structures and political institutions. Students gain a solid grounding in legal, social science, and humanistic research methods and a deeper knowledge base in their chosen area of law and policy. Students may take courses in all Northeastern colleges and schools, including the School of Law. The program values practical experience in its applicants and especially welcomes mid-career students, but it is open to all. The JD/MS program is also available.
