JD/Master of Business Administration

Business and industry must take public and private law into account in all decisions. The College of Law and the Whitman School of Management have responded by creating joint degree programs in business administration. Students may obtain a J.D. and M.B.A. in four years instead of the five years necessary when both programs are pursued separately. This programs is particularly appropriate for students with career objectives in corporate law, tax law, or labor law.

At Syracuse, the M.B.A. curriculum is flexible enough to accommodate the interests of the law/management student. Students may pursue general management programs or specialize in such areas of concentration as accounting, entrepreneurship, finance, marketing and supply chain management. J.D./M.B.A. students generally complete program requirements in four academic years.
