Joint JD/MBA

In conjunction with the AACSB-accredited George L. Argyros School of Business and Economics, the Chapman University School of Law offers a joint program leading to both the JD and MBA degrees. Offered to full-time students, the program requires four years of study and acceptance to both the Chapman University School of Law and the Argyros School of Business and Economics. The JD/MBA program gives students the opportunity to obtain two highly marketable professional degrees.

Advantages of earning your JD/MBA at Chapman over earning the degrees separately:

• Save a full year of class time attending classes just across the street
• Work intimately with faculty from the law and business schools that work intimately with each other
• Utilize both the Career Management Center in the business school and the Career Services & Professional Development Center in the law school
• Take advantage of study abroad opportunities provided through both schools
• Enjoy the excellent community relationship both schools have with businesses and organizations in Orange County

The School of Law offers an 88-credit, 6 semester full time JD program while the School of Business and Economics offers an MBA program that consists of 52 credits and is typically completed by full-time students in 4 semesters. The two programs, combined into the joint degree, require the completion of only 125 credits, a savings of 15 credits and one year of study, resulting from the cross-application of completed coursework in the two schools.
