The Nation’s First Online Joint J.D./MBA Degree Program

In today’s global and interconnected marketplace, business leaders face the task of navigating legal and regulatory frameworks that impact daily business transactions.  

Students seeking to enhance their credentials to succeed in this reality can now enroll in the nation’s first online joint J.D./MBA degree program.

This unparalleled opportunity combines our ABA accredited online JD program, JDinteractive, with the Whitman School’s highly ranked online Master in Business Administration (MBA) program. For the first time, it grants students access to both legal and business education from two nationally ranked schools, opening doors to greater opportunities in the legal and corporate realms. 

How to Apply

Students must first apply and enroll in JDi. Before starting the online MBA portion of the joint degree, JDi students must be separately admitted to the Whitman School, have completed 34 credits of law school courses, and meet all defined academic requirements. Students who wish to complete the joint degree program for a total of 114 credits cannot count coursework completed prior to enrolling in the joint degree per ABA regulations.
