Can you provide me the details of the Juris Doctor/Master of Business Administration (JD/MBA) program offered by Marshall School of Business of University of Southern California?

[pooja]

USC (University of Southern California) could offer 15 dual degrees in partnership with USC's other renowned professional schools and the California Institute of Technology.

A dual degree enables to gain thorough competence in another discipline with direct relevance to the roles lawyers play in society. One is also able to count certain law school courses toward other graduate degree, and vice versa, allowing to complete both degrees in less time than it would take to earn them separately.

Juris Doctor/Master of Business Administration (JD/MBA)

The Marshall School of Business in union with the USC Gould School of Law offers a program leading to the degrees of Juris Doctor/Master of Business Administration.

Application
Applicants to this program must apply to both schools individually and take both the Graduate Management Admission Test (GMAT) or the Graduate Record Examinations (GRE) and the Law School Admission Test (LSAT).

One should apply either simultaneously to both programs or during the first year in the USC Gould School of Law. Certification for eligibility for the dual degree program must be provided by the Law School prior to admission to the dual degree program by the Marshall School of Business.

Program Requirements

The total number of units required for the MBA portion of the program is 48.
Dual degree program students may not count courses taken outside the Marshall School of Business toward the 48 units.
To earn the JD, all students (including dual degree program students) must complete 35 numerically graded law units at USC after the first year.
The associate dean may make exceptions to this rule for students enrolled in Law School Honors Programs.

First Year: Required Law School courses (33 units).

Second Year: Required MBA courses and graduate business electives.

Third and Fourth Years: 43 units of law courses and graduate business electives sufficient to bring the total units completed in the Marshall School of Business to at least 48.

The JD and MBA degrees are awarded simultaneously upon completion of all program requirements.
