Law and Public Policy

Advisor: Associate Professor B. Hays (Political Science)

Union and Albany Law School have established a six-year program that leads to the B.A. and J.D. degrees. Ten first-year students each year are admitted jointly by the two institutions and major in law and public policy at Union. If at the end of three years a student has maintained a cumulative average of at least 3.3 and acted in a manner consistent with the standards of the legal profession, the student will automatically be accepted into Albany Law School. After successful completion of the first year at Albany Law School, Union confers a B.A. degree for the formal Law and Public Policy major. Because of the timing of events, the Union College degree may not be awarded until the year following the completion of the first year of law school.

By choosing appropriately from the allowable courses listed below, Law and Public Policy majors can emphasize either the political science or economics aspects of public policy.
