PENN LAW –The University of Pennsylvania Carey Law School’s Master in Law Program and Penn’s School of Veterinary Medicine are excited to announce an agreement that facilitates cross-disciplinary studies in their respective schools through the new VMD/ML Program. Through the  program, students may earn both a VMD and an ML or Certificate in Law from the Law School in four years. Moreover, the dual degrees may be earned at little to no additional cost to the VMD student. The ML Program was launched by the Law School in 2014 to enable professionals, academics, and graduate students from across disciplines to inform their important work and scholarship with legal education. Over the past eight years, the ML Program has welcomed students from every school on campus to take Law School classes and earn a Certificate in Law or the ML degree alongside of their primary degrees. “Our first students in the ML program included a Wharton MBA, an MD student from Penn Med, and a School of Arts and Sciences’ Master’s student,” said Catharine Restrepo L’93, the Executive Director of the ML Program. “Today they are enjoying robust careers in their fields, informed with a knowledge of the legal foundations, instruments, concepts, and skills they learned in the ML Program.”
