Juris Doctor / Master
of Science in Labor Relations and Human
Resources - J.D. / MSLRHR
Program Description
The workplace is increasingly complex. Understanding
that complexity requires familiarity with
history, economics, organizational theory,
sociology, law and other disciplines.
Roger Williams University School of Law,
in conjunction with the University of Rhode
Island Charles T. Schmidt Jr. Labor Research
Center, offers a concentrated joint degree
program for students interested in extensive
study of legal issues relating to employment
and labor relations.
The dual degree program allows matriculated
students to complete the Juris Doctor (JD)
and the Master of Science in Labor Relations
and Human Resources (MS) in an accelerated
period of study. By combining course work
at the two institutions, students are able
to reduce the overall time needed for the
completion of the two degrees by up to one
year.
To earn the degrees, students must complete
75 credits at the School of Law and 30 credits
at the Schmidt Labor Research Center.
