Non-law Elective Courses
Eligible law students may receive credit toward the JD degree for acceptable performance in a maximum of six semester hours in upper-level courses taken in other departments at the University of Tennessee, Knoxville which materially contribute to the study of law. Course selection and registration are subject to guidelines approved by the law faculty. These guidelines include the requirement that any such course be acceptable for credit towards a graduate degree in the department offering the course. Courses in which the primary content consists of substantive law will not be accepted for JD credit under this option.
Non-law courses will be credited on a Satisfactory/No Credit basis and a grade of B or better is required in order to receive a Satisfactory. Students enrolled in the J.D.-M.B.A. degree program and the J.D.-M.P.A. program may not receive credit toward the JD degree for courses taken in other departments of the University except for those taken in conjunction with the dual degree.
