If you aspire to drive change in healthcare policy or emerge as a leader in management consulting, this program offers distinctive insights into organizational dynamics and legal interactions. You'll cultivate adaptable negotiation and analytical abilities that provide an advantage whether you pursue corporate law, public policy, or entrepreneurship.

The School of Law and School of Business emphasize collaborative, experiential learning methods. Through group projects and simulated trials, you'll refine leadership and problem-solving capabilities. The program also offers opportunities to engage with actual clients via clinics and externships, where you can assist local community members with IRS disputes and other legal matters. Additionally, business school study trips to Asia, Europe, and South America broaden your international outlook.

From orientation onward, comprehensive support is available, including our Day One mentorship initiative that connects you with faculty advisors and upper-level law students. Both schools' extensive alumni networks prove invaluable when securing externships and employment. Graduates hold positions at leading firms like Goldman Sachs, JPMorgan Chase, Morgan Stanley, and GE, while actively participating in Quinnipiac's career events.

While traditional MBA and JD programs require 45 and 86 credits respectively, the dual-degree option reduces this to 33 business and 77 law credits—saving 21 credits total. Both degrees must be completed simultaneously.

Academic advisors from both schools will help tailor your curriculum through approved course schedules and shared credit arrangements. Flexible full-time or part-time enrollment options are available.

Qualification Requirements

To enroll in the dual-degree program, a student must file separate applications to and be accepted by both the School of Law and the School of Business. It is possible for students who have not yet completed their degree requirements for one program to apply to the other school to be considered for a dual-degree. Each school assists in adapting the program to the needs and interests of the enrolled student by approving schedules and joint credits for courses.

Admissions for these programs are handled separately, but a student should inform both admissions offices of an interest in pursuing the dual-degree. The earlier you are accepted into both programs and declare pursuit of both degrees, the more beneficial the dual-degree program is in the practical savings of time and credits.

Students accepted into the School of Law are not required to take the Graduate Management Admission Test (GMAT).

Upon admission to the dual-degree program, the enrolled student must meet with the director of the MBA program and the associate dean for academic affairs at the School of Law for academic counseling.
