Juris Doctor

Juris Doctor is a program taught at Saint John's University (NY), USA. The program is offered in campus-based modes with full-time options.

The Department of Accountancy, in conjunction with St. John’s School of Law, offers a dual degree program leading to a Juris Doctor (J.D.) degree and a Master of Science in Accounting. This licensure-qualifying program prepares students for careers in areas of law and accounting that require legal expertise and accounting competencies. It meets New York State accounting education requirements for licensure as a certified public accountant.

Students complete the degrees through simultaneous study rather than consecutively, which the program describes as providing significant time and tuition savings. The program is for a total of 120 required credit hours and is located at the Queens Campus. Students who earn both degrees receive academic preparation intended to support employment opportunities in business, industry, and private practice.

Professional licensure and certification requirements can vary by state. The program indicates that it has not determined requirements for states beyond New York. Applicants are encouraged to contact the appropriate state licensing agency if they reside or plan to reside outside New York.
