Law (J.D.)/Finance (M.S.)

Illinois Institute of Technology

Candidates for the J.D./Master of Science in Finance program must apply to and be accepted by each program separately, and complete a Registration as a J.D./M.S. in Finance Student Form in the Office of the Registrar. Joint Program students may apply up to 12 credits of M.S. coursework taken at Illinois Tech toward the requirements for the J.D. degree. No credit may be applied toward the J.D. degree for courses completed prior to the commencement of law studies. To receive J.D. credit for a course, the student must earn at least a C grade in the course. The M.S. course grades will not count in the student's J.D. grade point average. Students should work with their Stuart Graduate Academic Advisor on their program of study and for information about applying certain J.D. courses toward the M.S. degree. Illinois Tech requires a four-year bachelors degree that is conferred with a minimum cumulative undergraduate grade-point average of 3.0 on a 4.0 scale (or its equivalent) from an accredited institution for regular admission. Citizens and permanent residents of the United States with a cumulative undergraduate GPA of at least 2.5/4.0 may be admitted as non-degree students.
