Juris Doctor and Master of Business Administration

Get ahead with two valuable degrees. Pace’s Elisabeth Haub School of Law and the Lubin School of Business offer a combined program of study in law and graduate-level business administration in a closely integrated course of study in the two fields. The JD portion of the program is given at the Elisabeth Haub School of Law in Westchester and the MBA portion at the New York City Campus for all MBA concentrations except accounting, which may be taken in either New York City or Westchester. tudents admitted to the MBAJD program are assigned advisors in each school to help them in the selection of courses and definition of their career objectives. The reciprocal recognition of courses by each school is essential to the combined program. Therefore, students in the program must receive prior approval from the appropriate dean for any course proposed to be taken in the other. Business school students will receive a Program Analysis Sheet (PAS) that outlines their specific degree requirements.
The total number of credits required in the Lubin School varies based on the student's previous coursework. Full-time students may commence their studies at either the Lubin School of Business or the Elisabeth Haub School of Law.

Applicants must meet the independent admission requirements of each school in order to be admitted to the combined program. Admission to either the School of Law or the Lubin School of Business does not guarantee admission to the other school. Students who begin in the MBA program must apply to and be accepted by Haub Law by the end of their first year of full-time business study or by the end of their second year of part-time study.

Students who begin in Haub Law must apply and be accepted by the Lubin School of Business no later than during the fourth semester of law study (if in the three-year program) or no later than during the fifth semester of law study (if in the four-year program).
