  Admission Requirements

  Admission to the Dual JD-MBA Program is contingent upon separate admissions to the 91福利社 School of Law program and the MBA Program. However, the applicant is not formally admitted into the Dual JD-MBA Program until the satisfactory completion of the first year of law studies (30 credit hours.)

  Beyond separate admission into the law school and the College of Business Administration, an individual must have completed first-year law courses with a cumulative average of 2.8 or better with no grade below 2.2.

  An individual who desires to enter the Dual JD-MBA Program must complete a JD-MBA application form with the law school registrar typically in February or March of the first year of course work in the University's School of Law. Provisional acceptance to the Dual JD-MBA Program may be granted in April of the first year of law school, but final acceptance is dependent upon posting of first-year law school grades. A letter of acceptance is then sent to the applicant by the JD-MBA Program advisor.

  Degree Requirements

  The Dual JD-MBA Program incorporates two sets of academic requirements. Those two sets of requirements interface to allow a significant saving in course work when compared to an individual's efforts in accomplishing both degrees on a back-to-back, or independent basis.

  JD Requirements Under the Dual Program

  Law school course requirements consist of 78 credit hours, including all required courses of the regular law curriculum. A 2.8 cumulative GPA is required.

  MBA Requirements Under the Dual Program

  MBA courses include 24-45 credit hours of graduate business courses, depending upon the applicant's academic background and professional performance.

  Program Sequencing

  The usual approach to the Dual JD-MBA Program is to enter law school as a first-year student and, pending the outcome of the first-year law studies, to be admitted into the dual program. Once admitted, course studies over the next two to three years are scheduled to integrate law and business studies. This sequencing is based upon a law school student who enters in Term I of the academic year.

  A Variation in Program Sequencing

  Some candidates who began course work in the MBA Program may decide to seek admission to the Dual JD-MBA Program. It must be noted, however, that candidates who pursue this approach must be accepted into the law school program on a Term I basis only. Admission requirements, as described above, necessarily apply to the JD-MBA candidate who follows this particular sequencing of course work.
