The School of the Environment in
cooperation with the USC School of Law and The Graduate School offers a dual
degree program. The dual degree program, the Master of Earth and
Environmental Resources Management (MEERM) and Law Degree (J.D.), permits
students to complete the joint program in approximately four years.
Through the combined program, the total course load may be reduced by as many as
18 credit hours from that required if the two degrees were earned separately,
since up to nine hours of electives toward the MEERM degree may be taken in
approved law courses and nine hours of electives toward the J.D. may be earned
in the MEERM program.
The combined JD/MEERM
program requires that students be accepted independently into each of the
programs, that the students begin their first year with courses exclusively in
the School of Law, and that the remaining years be divided between the two
programs. Upon acceptance by both programs, students must complete a dual
degree form. Acceptance into one program does not affect the decision of
the other school with regards to admission. Upon admission to the dual
degree program, the student must select electives from an approved list of
courses.
