International Dual-Degree Options
For students who wish to gain a more in-depth international experience or seek work abroad after graduation, Northwestern Pritzker School of Law offers an international dual-degree program. This program expands on the opportunities available in our semester-long options and allow students to spend a year studying at our partner institution. Students will spend their 1L and 2L year studying at Northwestern Law and their 3L year abroad. At the end of their studies, they will receive both their JD degree from Northwestern and a degree from the host school. The application process and steps post-nomination are the same as that of the semester-long options.
