  Admission Requirements

  Applicants must be admitted to both the School of Law and the College of Business Administration.
  

  MBA students should submit the joint degree program application to the MBA office. MBA students must also complete a full application to the School of Law through the Law School Admission Council (LSAC) to be considered for admission due to law school accreditation requirements. This requires a current LSAT score.

  Additional application requirements for Law School can be found on the School of Law JD/MBA catalog pages.

  Requirements for the Master of Business Administration (33 credits)

  The Dual JD-MBA program incorporates two sets of academic requirements. Those two sets of requirements interface to allow a significant savings in coursework when compared to an individual's efforts in accomplishing both degrees on a back-to-back or independent basis.

  JD Requirements Under the Dual Program

  Law school course requirements consist of 78 credit hours, including all required courses of the regular law curriculum. A 2.8 cumulative GPA is required.

  MBA Requirements Under the Dual Program

  Foundation Requirements

  • ACC 5100 Corporate Financial Accounting (3 credits)
  • MBA 5100 Legal Issues in Organizational Strategy (3 credits)
  • MBA 5120 Data Analysis for Decision Making (3 credits)
  • MBA 5180 Fundamentals of Financial Management (3 credits)

  Depending upon the applicant's former performance in business coursework, the JD-MBA candidate may take from 0-9 credit hours in the MBA's foundation requirements. Students having to fulfill foundation courses will be waived from MBA 5100.

  Program Sequencing

  The usual approach to the Dual JD-MBA program is to enter law school as a first-year student and, pending the outcome of the first-year law studies, to be admitted into the dual program. Once admitted, course studies over the next two to three years are scheduled to integrate law and business studies. This sequencing is based upon a law school student who enters in Term I of the academic year.

  A Variation in Program Sequencing

  Some candidates who began coursework in the MBA program may decide to seek admission to the Dual JD-MBA program. It must be noted, however, that candidates who pursue this approach must be accepted into the law school program on a Term I basis only. Admission requirements, as described above, necessarily apply to the JD-MBA candidate who follows this particular sequencing of course work.

  Degree/Diploma Identification

  Tuition Rates

  Tuition rates and fees for students in the Dual JD-MBA program are the same as those for the School of Law at University of Detroit Mercy.
