Joint Degree JD/MTS
Candler offers a joint Master of Theological Studies and Juris Doctor degree in conjunction with Emory’s School of Law. The MTS/JD is a four-year degree, one year shorter than if the degrees were pursued separately. Applicants apply to Candler and Emory Law School separately, and if accepted to both schools, can enroll in the joint degree program. As with the MDiv/JD, applicants must take the Law School Admission Test (LSAT), administered by Law Services of Newtown, Penn. Students must apply to take the test directly to: Law Services, Box 2001, Newtown, Pennsylvania 18940, www.lsac.org, 215.968.1001.
Emory also requires use of the Law School Data Assembly Service (LSDAS) provided by Law Services. The LSDAS submits an unofficial copy of the applicant's college transcript, along with the report containing the LSAT score, to the law school.
