  Course of Study

  If students enter the program as a law student, they will devote their first year to the standard first-year law school curriculum. After the first year, most students pursue an integrated course of study in both colleges. Some prefer to devote most of the second year to the MBA portion of the program. Students who enter the joint degree program after beginning the MBA program will spend the next academic year completing the first-year law curriculum.

  The joint JD/MBA program requires approximately three and one-half to four years of full-time study, depending on the number of courses required for the MBA. For part-time students, the first-year law curriculum will require two academic years to complete. For the JD degree, 78 School of Law credit hours are required.

  Admission

  Students are admitted to the joint program only after enrolling in either the MBA program or the School of Law. Applicants must be admitted to both the School of Law (requiring LSAT) and the Business School (requiring GMAT). Applicants currently enrolled in law school need not file another complete application; they should fill out the joint degree program application and submit it to the Law School Registrar. Due to law school accreditation requirements, we must ask MBA students to complete a full application for the School of Law; however, the application fee is waived. Students presently enrolled in the MBA program may begin the process by submitting the joint degree program application to the MBA office, or may contact the School of Law admissions office for a law school application. For admission to the joint degree program, applicants must successfully complete the first year JD curriculum (30 credit hours) with a grade point average (GPA) of 2.5 or better and no single course grade below 2.0. The School of Law posts first-year grades in July following the first year of law school; admission to the joint program is conditional until these grades are posted.

  JD/MBA admitted students must maintain a cumulative 2.5 GPA in law courses and a 3.0 GPA in business courses to remain in the joint degree program and to receive the two degrees. Requirements for both degrees must be completed before either is awarded. Students who do not maintain these eligibility requirements may remain in both programs, but must complete the normal requirements for each degree.

  Application

  To obtain an application for the School of Law, contact the Admissions Office at (313) 596-0264 or udmlawao@udmercy.edu. Contact the Graduate Business Programs Office at (313) 993-1202 to obtain an application to the MBA program. Prospective JD/MBA students can request an application for the joint program from the School of Law Admissions Office or the College of Business Administration using the contact information above.

  The University charges JD/MBA program students tuition and fees at the rate in effect for the School of Law. Information on financial aid, loans, grants, scholarships, and awards is included in each school's application materials.

  For the MBA, students must complete courses in several categories as outlined below.

  • ACC 5100 Foundation of Financial Accounting
  • ECN 5100 Economic Analysis
  • MBA 5120 Statistical Analysis for Decision Making
  • MBA 5140 Foundations of Management
  • MBA 5160 Foundations of Marketing

  Electives

  Students complete nine hours of electives specifically approved as part of a cognate area concentration. These electives may be either law or business courses. Law courses considered as business electives also may be counted toward the 78 hours required for the JD. The JD/MBA faculty advisor in the Law School must approve the cognate concentration.

  Additional Academic Policies

  JD/MBA students must maintain a 2.5 GPA in law courses and a 3.0 in business courses to remain in the joint degree program and to receive the two degrees. Requirements for both degrees must be completed before either is awarded. Thus, a JD/MBA program student who has completed the law requirements but not the business requirements is not eligible to sit for the bar exam. Students who do not maintain these eligibility requirements may remain in both programs, but must complete the normal requirements for each degree.
