A JD–MBA is a dual degree program in which students jointly earn Juris Doctor and Master of Business Administration degrees. The programs are commonly offered in the United States and Canada by universities' graduate business and law schools. They allow students to use credits from certain classes in one degree to count for course requirements at the other degree. This allows students to complete both the three-year JD and two-year MBA programs in four years, not the five years the degrees would take if done consecutively.

Application Process

Due to the JD/MBA dual degree programs distinction schools have varying application processes. Some schools, like Harvard,[1] will need their applicants to apply and get accepted to both their law school and business school, for their J.D and M.B.A programs respectively. Also, during a graduate student's first year of either law or business school, they can apply for the other school to start their dual-degree program.

J.D General Application:

The J.D application process requires the applicant to provide:[2]

  • University Application Forms
  • LSAT Exam Scores
  • Sometimes GRE Exam scores in replacement of LSAT
  • Undergraduate G.P.A. and transcript
  • Letters of Recommendations
  • Personal Statement
  • Resume/C.V/Work experience

M.B.A. General Application[3]

The M.B.A application process usually requires the applicant to provide:

Other Application Options

Many schools may not need the entirety of both law and business school applications. Schools, such as University of Pennsylvania have JD/MBA programs were they will directly apply to the program through either the law school or business school and use the respective schools Exam (LSAT for Law school, GMAT for business school, GRE possible replacement for both).[4] Some schools offer both applying directly to the dual degree program as well as options of applying through either the university's respective law school and/or the university's respective business school such as NYU.[5]
