JD/MA Track (Law & Economics)
The JD/M.A. track is an interdisciplinary track in conjunction with the Duke Law School. Successful applicants complete both degrees in three years. This track is very flexible, but does require a strong foundation in core economic theory and modeling in microeconomics, macroeconomics and econometrics.
Students are encouraged to take courses that overlap economic and legal system concepts, such as game theory, industrial organization, and evaluation of public expenditures.
