Four-Year J.D. / MBA Dual Degree
A Degree of Difference
Since 1970, Notre Dame has offered the Four-year MBA / Law Dual Degree. It is a program defined by difference:
- Different than the traditional JD/MBA track, which usually takes five years to complete
- Different from other dual-degree programs in that it is steeped in decades-long tradition
- Different in the type of lawyer it produces
Ranked No. 6 in the nation by Law Street, this rigorous program is perfect for students who will one day work in corporate or transactional law. Are you ready to make a difference—in your career and in the world?
What You’ll Learn
During years one and two, you’ll focus exclusively on law, shift to MBA-only in your third year, and synthesize all you’ve learned in your fourth year, during which you’ll take both law and MBA courses.
In total, you’ll complete 75 hours of coursework in the Law School and 48 in Mendoza on your way to preparing yourself to serve as a different kind of lawyer: one who’s as much aware of the ethical implications of their work as they are the bottom line.
Admission
Students applying to the Four-Year MBA / Law Dual Degree program are expected to have completed two years in the Notre Dame Law School before beginning the MBA portion of their program.
