Key Summary

    About : The MBA/JD Dual Degree program integrates business and law education into a coordinated curriculum. Students gain a comprehensive understanding of both fields, which prepares them for leadership roles in various sectors. The program typically spans four years, allowing students to work toward both a Master of Business Administration (MBA) and a Juris Doctor (JD) degree concurrently.
    Career Outcomes : Graduates can pursue careers in several areas such as corporate law, compliance, public policy, and management consulting. The combined degrees equip students with critical skills for roles in both legal and business environments, making them competitive candidates in the job market.

MBA/JD Dual Degree

Offered in conjunction with the ABA accredited Chapman University School of Law, the full-time joint JD/MBA program is the only such program in Orange County, California, that allows students to earn both the JD and MBA degrees simultaneously. For this full-time, four-year program graduate students spend their first year at the School of Law, their second year at the ASBE, and their final two years at both schools.

All core JD/MBA courses are taken as a cohort during the day in a consecutive, planned format.

Students interested in this joint degree program must submit separate applications for both the Law program and the Full-Time MBA program and meet the admission requirements of each school.
