Law JD/MBA

School of Law

Program Description

The School of Management and the School of Law offer a collaborative four-year program leading to both the Juris Doctor (JD) and MBA degrees. Private practice, litigation and corporate counsel positions all require knowledge of business and the law, and those with significant leadership skills often rise to executive positions.

The MBA is a valuable credential that can be paired with a number of professional degrees, offering advanced business training concurrently to students pursuing professional credentials. The School of Management offers six such "collaborative" offerings: the MBA/AuD for speech pathologists, the MBA/Real Estate Development MS for planners and developers, the MBA/DDS for aspiring dentists, the MBA/MPH for public health professionals, and the MBA in combination with our surgical residency, for surgeons-in-training. Contact the School of Management for more information about these time-saving "collaborative" program opportunities.
