A bachelor’s or equivalent degree from an accredited college is a prerequisite for admission; however, there is no standard prescribed undergraduate curriculum.
This joint degree program requires that the student first be admitted to Dickinson Law. Subsequently, the student is recommended for and applies for admission to the Fox Graduate School for the Public Administration program. Dickinson Law need not forward applications of all Dickinson Law students who have expressed interest in the MPA program and can withhold support until students have demonstrated proficiency in their legal studies and a capacity for dual degree study. Penn State Harrisburg will make independent admissions decisions as to all dual degree applicants.
Students are admitted to begin classes in the fall only.
The following are required of applicants:
Dickinson Law
- Complete law school application;
- Law School Admission Test (LSAT);
- LSDAS report;
- One-page personal statement;
- Employment record since high school;
- Two recommendations.
