If you see yourself in a leadership role of serving the public through policy-making or directing governmental, health care or nonprofit organizations, the clear track to success is through a joint degree in public administration and the law.

It's possible to earn both a Master of Public Administration and a Juris Doctor degree through a partnership between the Thomas M. Cooley Law School and Western Michigan University's School of Public Affairs and Administration.

WMU and Cooley offer a joint degree program that permits students to acquire the knowledge of both disciplines and expedite completion of the requirements for both the MPA degree and the JD degree by eliminating duplicative course work.
