JD–MBA

A JD–MBA is a dual degree program in which a student concurrently earns Juris Doctor and Master of Business Administration degrees from a university's graduate law school and business school. JD–MBA programs are commonly offered in the United States and Canada. They integrate legal and business training through a structured cross-credit system that allows certain approved courses to count toward the requirements for both degrees. This enables students to complete both the three-year JD program and the two-year MBA program in four years, instead of the five years the degrees would take if done consecutively.
