Social: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.
By country
Canada
Top-ranking Canadian JD–MBA programs include a four-year JD–MBA at the University of British Columbia, University of Toronto,[1] York University,[2] Queen's University,[3] the three-year JD–MBA at the University of Western Ontario[4] and the three-and-a-half-year JD–MBA at the University of Ottawa.[5] Students may apply to the joint program before matriculating to either program, or after matriculating to either law school or business school.[6]
