The Asian/Pacific Studies Institute also administers
a joint JD/MA degree. Admission to this program is
contingent upon admission to the Duke Law School .
Degree requirements for the MA portion are eight graduate courses focusing on East Asia (must be graded). Students also need to register for six units of research, which can be ungraded. While some Law courses pertaining to East Asia can be counted as graduate courses, students must register them as Graduate School courses, rather than Law School courses.
