The School of Law-Camden and the School of Business–Camden offer a juris doctor/master of business administration (J.D./M.B.A.) dual-degree program. Students who are interested in pursuing the J.D./M.B.A. degree must apply and be admitted independently to both the M.B.A. program and the J.D. program.
The M.B.A. program awards up to 12 credits of coursework toward the M.B.A. degree for credits earned at the School of Law-Camden from among a list of courses specified by the M.B.A. committee. In order to receive credit toward the M.B.A. degree, students must achieve grades of C or better in their law courses. Courses taken in the J.D. program, however, will not be included in the computation of the cumulative grade-point average for the M.B.A.
The School of Law-Camden also will transfer up to 12 credits of coursework toward the J.D. degree for credits earned in the M.B.A. program in courses approved in advance for each student by the Law School Committee on the Curriculum. In order to receive credit toward the J.D. degree, students must achieve grades of C or better in the M.B.A. courses. Courses taken in the M.B.A. program, however, will not be included in the computation of the cumulative grade-point average for the J.D. degree. Students enrolled in the J.D./M.B.A. program must comply with the rules and regulations of each program, and must meet the requirements for each degree except insofar as joint credit is awarded in accordance with the rules stated above.
Prospective students interested in the J.D./M.B.A. dual-degree program at Rutgers-Camden currently are required to submit both LSAT and GMAT standardized test scores. However, students selected for the J.D./M.B.A. program should receive a waiver for one standardized test if they scored within the 80th percentile on the other test. Contact the program directors for more information.
