Joint Degree Programs

Pacific McGeorge offers a number of joint degree programs in cooperation with the graduate programs of the University of the Pacific's Stockton Campus and of California State University, Sacramento. Pacific McGeorge accepts up to a maximum of twelve units of graduate credit as elective credit toward the J.D. degree. (Only credit earned in graduate courses is accepted; credit earned in prerequisite courses that might have been completed at the undergraduate level are not accepted toward the J.D. degree.)

Students must fulfill residency requirements of the School of Law for the number of semesters of enrollment in law school courses (i.e., six semesters of full-time or eight semesters of part-time study, or the equivalent of mixed full-time and part-time study) with a minimum number of units required for each semester. Courses for which credit is accepted by Pacific McGeorge toward the J.D. degree must be taken concurrently between initial matriculation and graduation from the School of Law unless an exception is approved.

Students must be admitted separately to the School of Law and the school that will confer the Masters degree. Acceptance by one school does not guarantee acceptance by the other.

For Masters courses to be credited toward the J.D. degree, advance approval is required. Students should submit a written request to the Dean of Students for course approval and furnish an official transcript to the Registrar when grades are recorded. Only credit is accepted; grades do not count in computing a student’s Pacific McGeorge GPA, and courses and grades are not recorded on a student’s Pacific McGeorge transcript.
