• The Juris Doctor/Master of Divinity, a ten-semester program that combines training in law with preparation for ordained ministry. A student in this program matriculates concurrently in the Emory School of Law and the Candler School of Theology and completes the requirements for both degrees in five years (instead of the six years required to attain the degrees separately). One year is spent in the School of Theology, a second year in the School of Law. During the remaining three years, the student is required to register and pay tuition for three semesters in each school, but may enroll in courses offered by either school.
• The Juris Doctor/Master of Theological Studies, an eight-semester program that combines training in law with religious studies. This program emphasizes the scholarly, rather than the clinical, interaction of law and religion. A student in this program matriculates concurrently in the School of Law and the School of Theology and completes the requirements for both degrees in four years (instead of the five years required to attain the degrees separately). One year is spent in the School of Law, a second year in the School of Theology. For the remaining two years, the student is required to register and pay tuition for three semesters in the School of Law and one semester in the School of Theology.
• The Juris Doctor/Master of Arts in Judaic Studies, an eight-semester program that combines training in American law with a study of Jewish law, theology, and ethics.
• The Juris Doctor/Doctor of Philosophy, an individually tailored program for students pursuing law and advanced studies in ethics and society, biblical studies, or history of religion.

Admission to each of these joint degree programs requires separate application to the Emory School of Law for the Juris Doctor (J.D.) and to the Candler School of Theology or the Graduate Division of Religion for the accompanying Master's or Doctoral degree. The schools maintain independent admissions processes and financial aid programs. Each school maintains its own standards and procedures, and admission to one school does not guarantee admission to the other. Scholarship applications must be filed separately as well, and awards may be used only while the student is in residence at the school that has made the award. Scholarships (except Woodruff Fellowships) received from either school may be deferred for one year. Candidates interested in loans or grants should contact the Financial Aid Director, Candler School of Theology, and the Emory University Office of Financial Aid.

Joint degree candidates in law and religion are exempted from two semesters of the course work normally required to attain their two degrees separately. Joint degree candidates participate in a variety of courses, public forums, and research projects organized by the Law and Religion Program and are specially eligible for academic awards, research positions, and travel stipends made available through the Program.
