Campbell University

What you'll study

The program divides the required credits between the two schools. The JD requires 90 credits total: 81 credits must be completed at the law school and 9 credits at the divinity school. The MDiv requires 78 credits total: 63 credits must be completed at the divinity school and 15 credits at the law school. Course scheduling typically has students spending the first year in one school and the second year in the other, with years three through five split between law and divinity to maximize availability and choice.

Entry requirements

Applicants must gain separate admission to both the divinity school and the law school and maintain good academic standing in each program. Candidates must be admitted to both programs within a 24-month window. Matriculation begins in the school of the student's choice.

• Divinity School requirements (as stated): A four-year bachelor’s degree from a regionally accredited institution with a minimum GPA of 2.5; three references; a statement of faith and calling; transcripts; and an admissions interview.
• Law School requirements (as stated): A bachelor’s degree from an approved and accredited college or university; applicants must take the LSAT no later than February of the year they intend to enter (no minimum LSAT score is specified; the highest reported score is considered; LSAT scores older than five years will not be considered). Transcripts must be sent to the Law School Admission Council’s Credential Assembly Service (CAS).

Career prospects

The program prepares graduates for vocational paths that combine legal practice and religious leadership—examples include clergy who engage with legal issues affecting congregations, chaplains with legal expertise, legal advocates for faith-based organizations, or those pursuing separate careers in ministry or law. The integrated training supports roles where understanding both legal systems and theological ethics is advantageous.
