What will I learn?

Saint Louis University School of Law and the College for Public Health and Social Justice have partnered to offer the dual Juris Doctor/Master of Public Health degrees with a concentration in health management and policy.

A law degree combined with a master's in public health gives students a unique set of skills — an in-depth understanding of the legal system and how laws and regulations affect public health, along with a comprehensive insight into the social, environmental and physical influences that determine the health and well-being of people and communities. The dual degree distinguishes graduates as highly trained and highly motivated and provides the chance to effect meaningful change through any chosen career path.

Careers

Graduates of the dual-degree program have diverse employment opportunities and often serve in influential positions in health care systems, nonprofit institutions, large health law firms, health policy and human rights organizations, federal and state regulatory agencies, think tanks, and pharmaceutical, device and biotechnology corporations.
