The William S. Boyd School of Law and the UNLV College of Business offer a dual Juris Doctor/Master of Business Administration (JD/MBA) degree program that allows students admitted to both programs to pursue the two degrees concurrently.
Pursued individually, the JD requires the completion of 89 credit hours and the MBA requires the completion of 48 credit hours. The dual JD/MBA requires the completion of 80 law credit hours and 33 business credit hours, as 15 credit hours of law courses are accepted toward the MBA and nine credit hours of business courses are accepted toward the JD.
Applicants to the JD/MBA program must apply for, and gain admission to, both the Boyd School of Law JD program and to the College of Business MBA program, respectively. For information on MBA program application procedures, interested individuals should contact the College of Business-MBA Program at (702) 895-3655 or go to their website. When seeking admission to each of the two schools, applicants are asked to submit with each application a statement indicating their wish to pursue the dual JD/MBA degree.
While applications from current students in either program will be considered, students normally should secure admission to each program upon entering the university. However, petitions for admission to the dual JD/MBA program from students at more advanced stages in either program will be considered.
Under American Bar Association standards, the Boyd School of Law cannot award credit for any course work taken prior to matriculation into the JD program. JD/MBA candidates therefore normally must enroll at the Boyd School of Law and complete one year of study before taking any MBA courses to be applied to the JD degree.
