Dual Degrees and Interdisciplinary Opportunities

DUAL DEGREES
Environmental and natural resources law relies heavily on interdisciplinary approaches, and Michigan Law is uniquely situated to provide students the interdisciplinary opportunities to excel as environmental attorneys. Among Michigan Law's many outstanding dual degree programs are dual degrees in fields such as Law and Natural Resources (JD/MS),  Law and Public Policy (JD/MPP), Law and Business Administration (JD/MBA), and Law and Public Health (JD/MHSA or MPH).  Students seeking dual degrees may apply to the programs that interest them during their first or second year of law studies. Ad hoc dual degree programs can also be designed to fit the more narrowly tailored needs of individual students who wish to pursue careers in environmental and natural resources law.

INTERDISCIPLINARY OPPORTUNITIES
In addition to its dual degrees, Michigan Law offers a wide range of interdisciplinary opportunities for students interested in environmental law. Students can take environmental courses at other schools on campus, including the University of Michigan School of Natural Resources & Environment, the Gerald R. Ford School of Public Policy, and the Ross School of Business, and participate in interdisciplinary programs sponsored by the Erb Institute for Global Sustainable Enterprise, the Center for Sustainable Systems, the Graham Environmental Sustainability Institute, the Michigan Memorial Phoenix Energy Institute, and the Michigan Taubman College of Architecture and Urban Planning.  Few universities can offer its students more opportunities to explore different aspects of environmental issues than the University of Michigan.
