    PhD Programs in Interdisciplinary Law

    A Doctor of Philosophy is a postgraduate degree and often serves as the highest academic award at universities around the world. To participate in a Ph.D. program, students must have already completed some college education.

    What is a Ph.D. in Interdisciplinary Law? This field of study looks at the role law can play in other disciplines outside of the legal world. Programs may look at the intellectual history of law and the role it plays in humanities, social sciences and arts. Interdisciplinary law may have a national, international or local aspect. The exact curriculum of the degree can vary from school to school. For example, some universities may require students to complete coursework while others simply require examinations. The exact courses can also differ but may be similar to law and the environment, legal studies of the arts, and legal writing.

    Studying interdisciplinary law can be beneficial for many students. Not only could it lead to a higher starting salary, but it can also give graduates the foundation needed to have meaningful personal lives. Participants often gain important skills, including organization, research and critical thinking.

    There is no universal cost for a Ph.D. program. There is a lot of variance between schools, partially because this degree can take three to six years to earn. Applicants should contact universities directly for an estimate.

    A Ph.D. in Interdisciplinary Law can lead to a wide range of careers. Students with this education often enter fields outside of the normal legal disciplines. However, the jobs available may depend on the interests, previous education and work history of the students. Some graduates go on to become journalists, museum directors, patent officers, lawyers, professors, researchers, advisers and consultants. Most scholars with a Ph.D. don’t continue their education, but some may choose to pursue another doctoral or master’s degree.
