MBA/Juris Doctor

The MBA/JD is a four-year, full-time concurrent degree program offered by ASU’s Sandra Day O'Connor College of Law and the W. P. Carey School of Business. The program allows you to combine the disciplines of law and business. Upon graduation, you can elect to pursue a traditional law career or a career in business.

You need to apply to, and be accepted by, both the full-time MBA and JD programs. Current ASU students already enrolled in the law program should contact the W. P. Carey Office of Admissions for information.
