Dual Juris Doctor / Master of Business Administration [Healthcare Administration]
Associate Dean of the Law School: Matt Cordon
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 in Healthcare Administration degrees concurrently. Law courses substitute for electives in the MBA HCA 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. The MBA is test optional (i.e., GMAT or GRE). However, the LSAT exam is required for the Law School application. Additional admissions requirements for the MBA can be found under the Business School Admissions.
