Fast-track your professional career by earning your MBA and JD in just three years.

In our MBA+ JD (Three-Year Accelerated) joint degree program, you can earn both degrees from BU’s highly regarded Questrom School of Business and School of Law in the same amount of time it would take to earn a JD degree alone.

Program Details

With these two professional credentials, you'll be well positioned for many career opportunities, whether you plan to practice law in a corporate setting, manage a company or nonprofit, pursue a career in investment banking or financial services, or work for the IRS, SEC, or another government regulatory agency. Whether you practice in a public or private setting, understanding the fundamentals of business and finance will be crucial in client relations.

It’s an intense program, during which you'll take a full load of courses over seven semesters, including the summer following your first year. You'll take Questrom courses on a part-time basis while enrolled full time at the School of Law. You'll get the full law school experience, which comes with opportunities to participate in clinics, serve on law journals, pursue the Transactional Law concentration, and take part in on-campus interviewing. Plus, you won’t take courses during the summer after your second year, so you can complete a summer internship in a law firm or another legal setting.
