Rutgers Business School and
Rutgers School of Law
jointly offer the Juris Doctor (JD) / Masters of Business
Administration (MBA) dual degree program on the Rutgers Newark campus.
The Rutgers JD/MBA program offers students legal and business
perspectives in such fields as finance, corporate practice, taxation,
international, and other related fields.
Because each school within Rutgers recognizes up to 12 credits
offered by the other, students are able to earn both a JD and an MBA in
just four years -- one year less than it would take to earn them
individually. Generally, dual degree candidates take the required JD
curriculum in the first academic year and the full-time MBA core
curriculum in the second academic year. During the third and fourth
academic year, candidates take a combination of both disciplines.
Students are required to meet the admissions requirements of both
schools in order to be eligible for the program. Prospective applicants
are encouraged to apply simultaneously and independently to both
schools. Typically, the student will file an application with the School
of Law, take the Law School Admissions Test (LSAT), and present the
report of undergraduate work provided by the Law School Data Assembly
Service. Applicants will submit the separate, self-managed application
to Rutgers Business School.
Students must apply and be admitted to both schools. To learn more about the MBA program at Rutgers Business School,
