Program Requirements

Students may apply to the J.D. degree up to 12 credits of graduate-level work taken at the Graduate School of Management (GSM).
NOTE: Due to ABA accreditation requirements, the number of credits for a GSM course that may be applied to the J.D. degree may vary from what the Graduate School of Management offers for that course. Please check with the Law Registrar's Office to determine how many LAW credits apply to a GSM course.

The School of Management allows dual degree students to apply six School of Law courses toward the M.B.A. degree. (An exception is that no law-taught management courses may be transferred to the School of Management for M.B.A. credit). The remaining requirements for the M.B.A. consist of 40 GSM credit hours of required courses.

Courses in financial reporting, data analysis, and team learning provide a sound foundation for management decisions and for the functional courses that follow. Courses in finance, marketing, economics, and operations management build on this foundation to focus more specifically on the various roles of the manager. The diverse elements of the core curriculum are integrated in a "capstone" course, which focuses on the connections between business strategy and business process.

• M.B.A. required courses:
  OB 712 Managing Organizations and People (must be taken first)
  AC 711 Financial Reporting and Control
  MK 724 Marketing Management (must take AC 711 before or concurrently)
  QM 717 Data Analysis for Managerial Decision-Making (must take OB 712 before)

  SI 751 Competition, Innovation and Strategy (must take OB 712, AC 711, MK 724 and OM 726 before). Recommend taking SP 751 in the fall or spring semesters. A limited number of summer 1 slots available to J.D./M.B.A. students.
  Executive Communications (One of these courses will meet the requirement: ES 700, ES 701).
  ES 707 Managing Career Growth
  PL 700 Business Law & Ethics (course may be waived with completion of appropriate course work at LAW).
  
  Note: GSM courses must be taken in a particular order. In addition, dual-degree students take evening GSM courses (as the day courses are reserved for full-time MBA students).
