Joint degree programs at the doctoral level are available with the Institute of French Studies, the Skirball Department of Hebrew and Judaic Studies, and the Department of Middle Eastern and Islamic Studies. M.A.-J.D. and Ph.D.-J.D. dual degree programs with the School of Law are also available. Admission to these joint and dual degree programs must be granted by both departments or institutes or programs or schools upon entry or at the point of screening. Students in these programs normally are expected to complete the “literature of the field” courses and take the history department’s qualifying examination and a major field examination that may bridge the two disciplines. Joint and dual degree candidates are exempt from the departmental requirement for a second field.
