Information combined with JD (JD)(MI)

Information combined with JD (JD/MI) is a combined-degree program offered jointly by Dalhousie University's Faculty of Management and Schulich School of Law, delivered in person on the Halifax campus with a September intake on a full-time basis. Dalhousie was the first Canadian university to offer this pairing, which combines a Master of Information with a Juris Doctor to address challenges at the intersection of technology, information management, and law. The program is structured as a combined, course-based master's degree drawn from both the Master of Information and Juris Doctor curricula. The combined program runs four years or longer, full-time. Tuition is charged on a per-course basis and varies year to year, with exact figures available from Student Accounts rather than published centrally. Graduates are positioned for careers spanning information management, technology, and legal practice, including advisory and management roles in organizations dealing with information governance, privacy, intellectual property, and technology law.
