Informatics B.S. + Master of Jurisprudence

Implement emerging legal technology

At the Luddy School of Informatics, Computing, and Engineering in Indianapolis, our graduates shape the way we manage information to solve problems, working with Big Data and emerging technology. As part of our Informatics program, you’ll customize your undergraduate degree by earning a Certificate in Legal Informatics.

Your master’s degree will allow you to gain a better understanding of a particular area of law. Working with a faculty advisor, you’ll create an individual curriculum through the IU Robert H. McKinney School of Law. Customize your master’s to focus on your area of interest, from environmental and government regulations to sports and entertainment.

By combining informatics expertise with a solid grounding in the field of law, you can become an important part of the legal team when you earn a bachelor’s degree in Informatics and a Master of Jurisprudence.
