Associate Dean of the Law School: Leah W. Teague
Associate Dean for Graduate Business Programs: Patsy Norman

Students interested in a career requiring complementary skills in both law and business may complete the JD and MBA degrees concurrently. Law courses substitute for electives in the MBA curriculum described in this catalog, and business courses substitute for twelve quarter hours (one quarter) in the JD curriculum. Completing the combined program effectively “saves” one semester and one quarter of study. Students should consult with advisors in both the Law School and Business School to determine the best sequence of courses.

Admission

Students must apply and be accepted separately into both programs. Therefore, the GMAT or GRE is required for the MBA application and LSAT exam is required for the Law School application. Additional admissions requirements for the MBA can be found under the Business School Admissions.

Requirements

Students receive twelve hours credit toward their JD upon the successful completion of the MBA required courses and credit toward their elective requirement for the MBA upon successful completion of Law School course work. Thus, JD/MBA students complete 114 quarter hours of law and thirty-seven semester hours of graduate business. Since both degrees are awarded simultaneously, all requirements in both programs must be completed in order to receive either degree.

The following lists the required MBA courses for the joint degree.
