Law (J.D.)/Business Administration (M.B.A.)

A solid understanding of the business world can be invaluable in many areas of law. Students in the J.D.M.B.A. joint-degree program combine the management expertise and business skills of an M.B.A. with a law degree, cultivating a unique and marketable skill set for the next economy. This program is particularly valuable for those law students who intend to be involved in activities and commercial transactions within the business community. The M.B.A. program’s focus on professional specialization, combined with business-oriented law courses in the law school curriculum, enhances a lawyer’s ability to work effectively as part of the corporate and business worlds. Enrollment in the joint J.D.M.B.A. joint-degree program enables a student to obtain a J.D. degree from Chicago-Kent College of Law and an M.B.A. degree from Stuart School of Business in approximately three and a half to four years of full-time study or five years of part-time study.

Candidates for the J.D./M.B.A. joint-degree program must apply to and be accepted by each program separately and complete a Registration as a J.D./M.B.A. Student Form in the Office of the Registrar.
