This combined-degree program allows students to earn a Bachelor of Arts in Multidisciplinary Studies from Wilfrid Laurier University and a Juris Doctor from Griffith University in Australia within six years, shorter than completing a bachelor's degree and a separate law degree in sequence. Students spend their first years at Laurier completing the BA in Multidisciplinary Studies, combining courses across departments to build a customized program of study, before transferring to Griffith University to complete the Juris Doctor. The Laurier portion of the program is offered in person at the Brantford or Waterloo campus, or online, with students attending some classes in a physical classroom and participating in others online. The program is intended for students planning a legal career who want to shorten the combined time spent on undergraduate and law studies, and requires admission to both institutions under the terms of the partnership agreement between Laurier and Griffith University.
Requirements
Admission Requirements: Ontario secondary school applicants need an average in the high-70s, including English at a minimum of 60%, for entry to the Laurier BA portion of the program. Continuation into the Griffith University Juris Doctor requires separate admission to Griffith under the terms of the partnership agreement.
