Dual JD/MBA

Recognizing that the worlds of law and business have become increasingly interdependent and complex, the School of Law (LAW) and Questrom School of Business at Boston University offer a formal dual degree program in Law & Management. Because of the many areas of focus shared by the two schools, students can complete the JD/MBA dual degree program in an accelerated three-year track, although the traditional four-year track is also an option.

Possess knowledge and understanding of substantive and procedural law;

Application

Prospective students must submit online applications to both Questrom School of Business and the School of Law. Students must be accepted by both schools in order to be eligible to complete this dual degree.

Applying to Questrom School of Business

For the JD/MBA (Three-Year Accelerated) dual degree, students must apply to Questrom before their first year of law school. For the JD/MBA (non-accelerated), students who are already enrolled in the School of Law typically apply before or during their first year of law school in order to begin the MBA program in their second year. However, students can also apply to Questrom to begin their master's degree program in their third year of law studies. In this case, students should recognize that their dual degree may require longer than four years.

Although work experience is not a requirement for admission, many candidates do have some postgraduate experience. From a competitive standpoint, candidates with little or no work experience should be stronger in other admission criteria, such as GPA and the GMAT. Please note that while the LSAT is required for admission to the School of Law, it may not be substituted for the GRE or GMAT, one of which is required as part of the application to Questrom.

Course Requirements

MBA Requirements

Students must complete 28 units in Questrom.

Note: The required courses (a total of 28 Questrom unit hours) must be completed within Questrom School of Business.

The MBA program has a strict policy on having the appropriate prerequisites for certain courses. Also, not all MBA courses are offered each term, so please be sure to meet with the Questrom dual degree advisor before registration each term in order to plan your MBA courses and confirm which courses will be offered.

Please note that dual degree students must take evening classes at Questrom.

JD Requirements

There are no specific LAW courses required for the JD/MBA program, but it is strongly suggested that students take courses in the areas of commercial law, business organizations, government regulation of business, and taxation.

Note: No LAW-taught management courses (e.g., LAW Principles of Accounting) may be transferred to Questrom School of Business for MBA units.
