A JD–MBA is a dual degree program in which students jointly earn Juris Doctor and Master of Business Administration degrees.
The programs are commonly offered in the United States and Canada by universities' graduate business and law schools.
This allows students to complete both the three-year JD and two-year MBA programs in four years, not the five years the degrees would take if done consecutively.
[5] Students may apply to the joint program before matriculating to either program, or after matriculating to either law school or business school.
There are three common lengths of time offered for JD–MBA programs: three-year, three-and-a-half-year, or four-year.
