The JD program is not considered a graduate degree at UBC despite carrying Doctor in its name. Thus, the program is not administered by Graduate and Postdoctoral Studies. Admission to the JD program resides with the Peter A. Allard School of Law. Interested students should visit the JD program website for further information.
