This dual degree program allows students to earn a Public Administration, M.P.A.  degree from the College of Liberal Arts & Sciences  at UNC Charlotte and a Juris Doctor (JD) degree from the Charlotte School of Law in eight semesters of study.

Prospective dual-degree program students must apply separately to both UNC Charlotte and the Charlotte School of Law. Full-time students spend the first full year of study at either UNC Charlotte or the Charlotte School of Law. They then spend their entire second or third year at the other institution. For the remainder of the program, students take classes at both UNC Charlotte and the Charlotte School of Law. Each school grants nine (9) units of credit for courses taken at the other school.
