Professor Koonce and Dean Lindquist introduced a proposal for a concurrent J.D./Ph.D. in Psychology in the College of Law and College of Liberal Arts and Sciences. Council member and unit representative Professor Demaine was present to respond to questions including the relationship to the University of Arizona's existing concurrent program, the timeline for completion of both degrees, the number of credits required for each degree and for the concurrent degree program, shared hours between the two degrees, the expected participation of concentrations within Psychology other than social psychology, and the benefit of the proposed program to the Barrett Honors College. The proposal was recommended for approval.
