J.D./M.B.A. Joint Degree

     The School of Law and the Fogelman College of Business and Economics offer a coordinated degree program leading to the conferral of the J.D. and M.B.A. degrees. The purpose of this joint program is to allow the student to study the intricacies of modern business management and law as a cooperative educational effort. Students who are contemplating the career as a lawyer specializing in business issues and want to acquire the skills and perspective of the business manager will find the J.D./M.B.A. a highly complementary program of study. An added benefit of the J.D./M.B.A. program is that it offers the student the ability to complete both the J.D. and M.B.A. in considerably less time than required to complete each degree separately.

     To enroll in the joint program, an applicant must submit separate applications to, and be independently accepted by, the School of Law and the College of Business and Economics. An individual may apply to enter the coordinated program at any time prior to, or after matriculation in the School of Law, provided that application is made prior to the third year of law school. An applicant must not have completed more than one half of the course work for the M.B.A. before beginning law courses.

     For more detailed information about the J.D./M.B.A. program, contact the Law School Admissions Office.
