MS / JD with Pace

About BCEP

Jessica Steinberg '07

This joint program combines Bard's innovative graduate curriculum with one of the nation's top-five ranked environmental law programs. It offers students the opportunity to complete, in an accelerated period, a Master of Science in environmental policy at Bard College and a Doctorate in Jurisprudence with a certificate in environmental law at Pace Law School.

The program consists of four years in residence-two and a half years at Pace and one and a half years at Bard. Two summer internship/externship experiences in the Pace law program satisfy the BCEP internship requirement. Students are required to complete a BCEP Master's Thesis. Applicants must apply separately to both schools.
