MBA/JD

MBA/JD

A combined 129 credits for these two degrees (87 credits for the JD and 42 credits* for the MBA) is reduced to 114-116 credits through credit-sharing.

Students must apply and be accepted to both programs of study. Law students may not matriculate into the MBA/JD Joint Degree without the advance approval of the academic Status Committee.

Students may begin their study in either the School of Business or in the School of Law; however, pursuant to the ABA Standards, students shall only be given credit toward their J.D. degree for course work taken after the student has matriculated into the law school. Students may not take business and law courses simultaneously until after all first-year law courses have been completed. For part-time evening law students, this means that business courses may be taken during the summer between the first and second years of law school but not during the fall and spring semesters of either year. Law School courses counted toward the MBA will be accepted with the minimum Law passing grade. 

* Up to 6 credits may be waived based on previous coursework in accounting, economics, finance and statistics. To be eligible for a course waiver, a grade of 'B-' or better is required in an approved course taken within the past 5 years.
