Students must apply separately both to the College of Law and to the College of Liberal Arts & Sciences Master of Science in Public Service Administration, and they must meet the same admissions standards as other applicants. The standard policy and practice is for a student to be accepted by and matriculate in the College of Law before the student is matriculated in Public Services. Public Services can accept the student but should not matriculate or enroll the student until the student completes the requisite number of credits (31) in the College of Law with a minimum 3.00 law GPA. Applicants should enroll in College of Law first to demonstrate competence for the joint degree. Full-time students must complete the first-year with a minimum GPA of 3.0 and 31 semester hours. Part-time students must complete the first three semesters with a minimum 3.00 GPA and 31 earned semester hours. They must be accepted independently by Public Services. They then can apply to the joint coordinating committee of the College of Law and the Masters of Science in Public Services Administration for acceptance to the joint degree program. Tuition is charged by the quarter hour of MPS classes and by the semester hour for law classes.
