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.

Application Deadline

Course of Study
Students enrolled in the J.D./MBA Program plan a specific course of study with the MBA Program and Loyola Law School. 12 units of law course work will apply to MBA Program, reducing MBA requirement to 39 semester hours.
