The joint M.S.-J.D. degree is structured so that qualified students can obtain a non-thesis M.S. degree in Agricultural and Applied Economics and a J.D. degree from the Law School in four years, rather than the five that would be required if each degree were pursued separately. This degree provides students who want to practice law in an agricultural and/or natural resource setting with graduate training in economics as applied to rural areas and/or the natural resource sector. The minimum 36 hours for the M.S. portion includes 3 hours of Master's Research Paper (AAEC 6301) which are required from both Agricultural and Applied Economics and from Law. Those who select this option must be admitted to both the Law School and the Graduate School. The LSAT exam may be taken in lieu of the GRE.The student's graduate committee will conduct an oral examination after all other requirements for the degree have been completed. The chairperson of the student's graduate committee must establish an examination date and notify the other members of the student's graduate committee and faculty in the department at least 5 working days prior to the final examination. The student is expected to defend the thesis or M.S. research paper and demonstrate an ability to discuss issues of importance in the chosen areas of specialization.

Students who undertake a program of study leading to the M.S. or M.Ag. degree must have completed an accepted bachelor's degree program including the following courses or their equivalents with a grade of B or better: intermediate Microeconomic Theory (AAEC 3315, ECO 3312, or equivalent), Production Economics (AAEC 3316 or equivalent), Statistics (AAEC 3401 or equivalent), Basic Calculus (Mathematics, AAEC 4312, etc.) , Intermediate Macroeconomic Theory (ECO 3311 or equivalent). In addition, computer literacy (micro-computer and mainframe) is expected of all applicants. A student who has not completed the above requirements will be asked to do so before embarking on graduate level coursework. A student who is deficient in other subjects, in the judgment of the Departmental Graduate Faculty, may be required to satisfy additional prerequisites. The credit hours earned in satisfying prerequisites will not be counted toward the M.S. or M.Ag. degree program. Proficiency in basic calculus is a prerequisite for the graduate program. All students, and particularly those intending to continue their graduate training, are encouraged to increase their mathematical proficiency by taking courses such as MATH 1380, MATH 2380, ECO 3313, or MATH 5304 and MATH 5305.
