MBA/JD

he Master of Business Administration (M.B.A.) / Juris Doctor (J.D.) program is designed for those students seeking advanced education in business administration in addition to an education in the law.

Normal degree requirements of 90 semester hours (Juris Doctor) and 36 semester hours (Master of Business Administration) for students who waive the M.B.A. Foundation Courses are complemented and reduced to 81 semester hours (Juris Doctor) and 27 semester hours (Master of Business Administration). Each program is reduced by nine semester hours because each program accepts, as part of its requirements, nine semester hours from the other program; thereby, saving students 18 hours of time and tuition.

Academic Requirements

Students must apply to each program separately. A student is considered a M.B.A. / J.D. student only once he or she has been admitted to both programs.

The College of Law accepts the nine semester hours from the College of Business only after the entire 30 semester hours of required graduate business administration courses have been successfully completed. The College of Business accepts the nine semester hours from the College of Law only after the 81 semester hours of law courses have been successfully completed. Students must successfully complete all required courses in both programs.
