About Master of Philosophy and Law

Philosophy and Law Dual Degree

This joint degree, offered through Duquesne University's Kline School of Law and McAnulty Graduate School of Liberal Arts, allows you to benefit from rigorous study of philosophy while completing your law degree.

Philosophy is widely regarded as among the best majors for students aspiring to a future in law, as it develops analytical acuity, logic, clarity and the incisive ethical reasoning needed by legal professionals. Students with a background in philosophy tend to score well above average on the LSAT and to outperform other students.

Candidates may begin in either the Kline School of Law or the McAnulty Graduate School of Liberal Arts. A 15-credit limitation, per semester, is placed on all students in the program except during the first year of legal study, when students are not permitted to take any graduate philosophy courses.

See the Thomas R. Kline School of Law of Duquesne University for additional information.
