School of Law’s Programs

Return to: School of Law You expect the Juris Doctor (JD) program at Pitt Law to offer a solid foundation in the basics of legal education. You might not expect the opportunity to specialize in areas like environmental and energy law; health law; and intellectual property, technology, and innovation law.
You might not expect to be able to pursue both a JD and a second master’s degree at another Pitt school-in an area such as bioethics, business, public health, and social work-or at nearby Carnegie Mellon University in less time than it would normally take to complete two consecutive degrees.
You might not expect a 30-credit Master of Studies in Law advanced degree designed for graduates and mid-career professionals seeking to enhance their careers with a versatile alternative to the traditional three-year Juris Doctor degree. Or a Master of Laws degree to provide foreign law graduates with critical training in the common law legal tradition and the U.S. legal system during an academic year. Or even a completely-online Health Care Compliance Online Graduate Certificate Program developed by experts in compliance, law, and online education.
And you might not expect how quickly and the extent to which you’ll get to apply those classroom lessons. Assisting the public through work with a clinic (health law, elder law, the environment, immigration, and more); serving as a full-time extern on Capitol Hill or throughout Washington, D.C., as part of the Semester in D.C. Program; interning with a federal agency, nonprofit, or corporation; and participating in a national or international moot court competition are just some of the opportunities you’ll have to practice your skills and hone your expertise even before you graduate.
