Legal Studies / Government and Politics, Bachelor of Science / Master of Arts

St. John's University

In order to fully understand the practice of law, you also need to understand the political structures that affect how legislation is created and interpreted. The combined B.S./M.A. program in Legal Studies and Government and Politics will provide you with comprehensive understanding of the American legal system and the governmental framework affecting every aspect of legal practice. The accelerated nature of the program will allow you to complete both degrees in just five years of full-time study. The B.S./M.A. program in Legal Studies and Government and Politics allows qualified students to simultaneously work toward the completion of a B.S. degree in Legal Studies and an M.A. degree in Government and Politics. While still working toward your undergraduate Legal Studies degree, you’ll enroll in four approved graduate courses in Government and Politics. These courses will still apply to your bachelor’s degree if for any reason you do not wish to continue at the master’s level after four years.
