Return to {$returnto_text} Return to: Academic Degrees and Programs

Only full-time law students may apply for admission into the J.D./MBA Program.

The J.D./MBA Program is designed for the full-time student who wishes to combine their graduate studies in law and business administration. It requires an intensive full-time commitment and superior capability to handle the academic rigors of two equally intensive graduate programs.

All students enrolled in the J.D./MBA Program are required to comply with the requirements of both the Law School and MBA Program with the exception of the GMAT requirement. Please refer to the Loyola Law School Student Handbook and this University Bulletin for clarification on policies governing graduate students.
