University of Texas announces dual MSIS/JD degree

"The School of Information and the School of Law at The University of Texas at Austin will admit the first cohort of students for a new three-year dual degree program in fall 2010.

The degree, a Master of Science and Information Studies and Doctor of Jurisprudence (MSIS/JD) responds to an increased need for specialist trained to help address legal issues arising from the increasingly complex and changing world of information use, retrieval and storage in the 21st century."
