Note that the Law School's summer schedule does not conform to the University's Summer I and summer II schedules. The Law School will offer an elective that alleviates this conflict.

*

Students will receive JD credit for these MHA courses.

**

Students must take two 3-hour courses in each Summer Session to meet the Law School residency requirement.

***

The Biostatics Seminar satisfies the Law School writing requirement, as well as the Perspective Count requirement.


                                                       

@

Students will receive MHA credit for these Law School courses.

@

Students may also elect to take LAWS 555, Professional Responsibility (2 hours) in the Fail semester, Year 3. Be advised, however, that an additional hour of Law School credit will be required to complete the JD-MHA Program. In addition, students electing to take LAWS 555 must complete an additional course hour within the Law School during the Fall semester in order to meet the Law School residency requirement. HSPM 770 will not satisfy the residency requirement.
