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.
