The University of North Texas Health Science Center at Fort Worth (HSC) has established a new partnership with the Texas A&M University School of Law that will benefit students from both Institutions.
The agreement provides a pathway for HSC students to enroll concurrently in the Texas A&M Law degree and certificate programs while completing their degree(s) at HSC. It also allows for Texas A&M Law students to enroll concurrently in HSC graduate degree and professional certificate programs while completing their degree at Texas A&M Law.
“This is a wonderful opportunity for our future health care providers and public health professionals to graduate with a solid understanding of the legal perspectives that influence the delivery of health care in our communities,” said Dr. Charles Taylor, HSC Provost and Executive Vice President. “It also allows future lawyers to be more well-versed in health-related topics that impact the world we live in today.”
“Texas A&M Law is building a new model of legal education – educating and training not just lawyers, but also the broader array of professionals who need a robust understanding of law, regulation, compliance, and policy,” said Robert B. Ahdieh, Dean of Texas A&M Law. “Our new partnership with HSC provides an exciting opportunity to advance that innovative mission.”
