The Faculty of Law offers students a wider variety of inter-disciplinary combined programs than any other law school in Canada. Each of these inter-disciplinary programs provides students with the opportunity to combine their J.D. degree with a second, graduate-level degree in another discipline which complements their legal education. Through these programs, students save a year or more on the time required to complete the two degrees separately.

Students interested in combined degree programs must apply to and be admitted separately by both the Faculty of Law and the corresponding department or faculty within the University, meeting all admission requirements for each.

Admission decisions of the Faculty of Law are not influenced by a candidate's success in gaining admission to a faculty or department participating in a combined program. It is strongly suggested that applicants submit complete applications to both programs by the law school deadline.

Students can apply for combined programs going into the first year of the J.D. program (via OLSAS) or in the fall term of their first year in the J.D. program. Students must apply to and be admitted separately by both the Faculty of Law and the corresponding department or faculty within the University, meeting all admission requirements for each.

Students in combined programs are eligible to apply for Faculty of Law financial aid during the years that they are registered full-time in J.D. courses.
