JD/MBA Concurrent Degree Requirements:

For students interested in obtaining both the MBA and JD (law) degrees, the MBA/JD dual degree program is available. The program requires separate application and admission to both the School of Law and the Graduate School of Business for the MBA program. Interested students should obtain bulletins and applications from both the School of Law and the Graduate School of Business. If the student is accepted into both programs, a maximum of twelve hours of approved law core courses may be used as duplicate credit toward the MBA degree. These twelve hours of law core courses shall be applied to the twelve hours of career track courses within the MBA degree plan. Likewise, a maximum of twelve hours of approved MBA core courses may be used as duplicate credit toward the JD degree, thus reducing the total time necessary for the completion of both degrees.
