Northeastern University School of Law's innovative approach to legal education attracts a well-rounded student body whose educational and cultural diversity enriches the process of learning about the law. Each new class is comprised of approximately 200 individuals with varied life experiences - nurses, musicians, engineers, journalists, educators and political activists, to name a few.

Each year students pursue concurrent degree programs with other graduate and professional programs at Northeastern University or dual-degrees with other institutions. Students may consider the following four programs:

• Public Health (JD/MPH with Tufts University School of Medicine)
  
• Business Administration (JD/MBA)
  
• Professional Accounting (JD/MS/MBA)
  
• Law, Policy and Society(JD/MS/PhD)

Students must apply seperately to each degree program, which will admit students according to its own policies and requirements. Acceptance to the School of Law is a prerequisite to entrance for all of these programs.
