About the course

The Thomas R. Kline School of Law and the Department of Psychology in the College of Arts and Sciences offer a joint and integrated JD/PhD program in Law and Psychology. The program melds two already ongoing successful endeavors, the JD degree in the School of Law and the PhD in clinical psychology in the Department of Psychology. Although a few other universities may offer degrees in law and psychology, these are often on an ad hoc, nonintegrated basis. Thus, the Drexel program is a unique interdisciplinary endeavor.

How to apply

Entry requirements for Drexel University

Acceptance for graduate study at Drexel University requires a four-year bachelor's degree from a regionally accredited institution in the United States or an equivalent international institution. Although admission requirements vary by program, regular acceptance typically requires a minimum cumulative grade point average of 3.0 (B) for undergraduate work. The average for any graduate work must be at least 3.0. Applicants for post-master's status must show potential for further study by having maintained at least a 3.0 average in their master's-level studies. (Individual departmental requirements may exceed this minimum.).

　　To be admitted to the joint program, all students must satisfy admissions requirements of both schools. Applicants must have a bachelor’s degree from an accredited undergraduate college or university. They must take the Graduate Record Examination (GRE) and the Law School Admission Test (LSAT), the GRE Subject Test in Psychology is recommended, but not required. Applicants must also submit three letters of recommendation and transcripts from all colleges and universities they have attended. The program does not enroll students for part-time or evening study.

　　Admission to the program is highly competitive - only two students are typically admitted each year. Thus, a critical factor for admission is excellent performance on the GRE and LSAT.
