Incorporating a law degree with a graduate degree in another field is a powerful combination. At Albany Law, we collaborate with other colleges and universities to offer joint degrees in several fields. A joint degree offers greater levels of knowledge and insight, broadens your impact in your field, and can advance your career in many ways.
From your first day at Albany Law School, you will begin to learn to be a lawyer. Our unique Introduction to Lawyering—a required first-year course that teaches you to think and perform as a lawyer—is only the beginning. From simulation cases to a competitive Moot Court Program and an award-winning Clinical Legal Studies Program, our "hands-on" curriculum offers the experience you need to build professional skills for a lifetime of career success and achievement.
