MBA Program

The University of Dayton offers a unique dual degree program for students interested in both law and business. The joint JD/MBA program allows the student to apply six hours of approved elective credit earned in the MBA Program to the Law Program and six hours of approved elective credit earned in the Law Program to the MBA Program. The dual program results in the elimination of a total of 12 semester hours that are normally required if the degrees were pursued individually, thus fulfilling both degrees at a much faster pace. Students may begin either program first, but the first year Law student is required to take Law courses exclusively during the first two semesters of Law studies.

Students applying for admission to the joint degree program must meet the admission requirements of both the Law School and the MBA Program. Applications for admission should be submitted to each school, along with other records and data required by each school. The applicant should indicate on each application that application is for the JD/MBA program. Applicants should contact the Directors of both programs for information and admission applications. Upon admission to both programs, the student will be enrolled in the JD and MBA programs simultaneously. 

Upon admission to the joint degree program, the student will be assigned an advisor from both the Law School and the MBA Program. Each student is required to meet with the respective program advisors to plan his/her program.  Continuous liaison must be maintained throughout the joint degree program.
