  Admission Requirements

  Admission to the Dual JD-MBA program is contingent upon separate admissions to the 色综合久久 Mercy School of Law program and the MBA program. However, the applicant is not formally admitted into the Dual JD-MBA program until the satisfactory completion of the first year of law studies (30 credit hours.)

  Beyond separate admission into the law school and the College of Business Administration, an individual must have completed first-year law courses with a cumulative average of 2.8 or better with no grade below 2.2.

  An individual who desires to enter the Dual JD-MBA program must complete a JD-MBA application form with the law school registrar typically in February or March of the first year of course work in the University's School of Law. Provisional acceptance to the Dual JD-MBA program may be granted in April of the first year of law school, but final acceptance is dependent upon posting of first-year law school grades. A letter of acceptance is then sent to the applicant by the JD-MBA program advisor.

  Degree Requirements

  The Dual JD-MBA program incorporates two sets of academic requirements. Those two sets of requirements interface to allow a significant saving in course work when compared to an individual's efforts in accomplishing both degrees on a back-to-back, or independent basis.

  JD Requirements Under the Dual Program

  Law school course requirements consist of 78 credit hours, including all required courses of the regular law curriculum. A 2.8 cumulative GPA is required.

  MBA Requirements Under the Dual Program

  Foundation Requirements

  • ACC 5100 Corporate Financial Accounting (3 credits)
  • MBA 5100 Legal Issues in Organizational Strategy (3 credits)
  • MBA 5120 Data Analysis for Decision Making (3 credits)
  • MBA 5180 Fundamentals of Financial Management (3 credits)

  Depending upon the applicant's former performance in business course work, the JD-MBA candidate may take from 0-9 credit hours in the MBA's foundation requirements. Students having to fulfill foundation courses will be waived from MBA 5100.

  Core Courses

  Program Sequencing

  The usual approach to the Dual JD-MBA program is to enter law school as a first-year student and, pending the outcome of the first-year law studies, to be admitted into the dual program. Once admitted, course studies over the next two to three years are scheduled to integrate law and business studies. This sequencing is based upon a law school student who enters in Term I of the academic year.

  A Variation in Program Sequencing

  Some candidates who began course work in the MBA program may decide to seek admission to the Dual JD-MBA program. It must be noted, however, that candidates who pursue this approach must be accepted into the law school program on a Term I basis only. Admission requirements, as described above, necessarily apply to the JD-MBA candidate who follows this particular sequencing of course work.

  Graduate Assistantships

  Graduate Assistantships

  Graduate assistantships are available to selected students enrolled in any graduate business program. A graduate assistantship is conferred upon a student with the understanding that the student will be assigned to a discipline or program to assist in research, tutoring or general activities. A limited number of graduate assistantships are available each semester. A graduate assistant works 7.5 hours per week in exchange for a 1-course tuition waiver. Application forms for a graduate assistantship are available in the Graduate Business Programs Office.

  MBA Program Characteristics

  Several important aspects of the MBA program should be noted. These include policies regarding grade point averages, class scheduling, and advising.

  Cumulative Grade Point Average

  Students in the MBA program are required to achieve and maintain a cumulative grade point average (GPA) of 3.0 or better (on a 4.0 scale). A 3.0 cumulative GPA is required for final completion of the degree requirements and graduation.

  Academic Standing

  While an individual may be admitted into the M.B.A. Program on a regular-acceptance basis, it is possible that the individual's eventual cumulative GPA may fall below a 3.0 in any particular term. When this situation occurs, the student automatically is placed on "Academic Probation". This status dictates that the student's cumulative GPA must continue to improve in each consecutive term thereafter until the cumulative GPA reaches 3.0 and is then sustained at that level or higher. If, after being placed on Academic Probation, the student's cumulative GPA does not improve in each subsequent term, the student will be academically dismissed.

  Class Scheduling

  M.B.A. classes are scheduled in the evening and online. MBA classes are currently offered on the McNichols Campus and downtown Riverfront Campus. Evening classes begin at 6:40 p.m., Monday through Thursday for Term I and Term II on the McNichols Campus and evening classes begin at 6 p.m., Monday through Thursday for Term I and Term II on the downtown Riverfront Campus. Terms are 15 weeks in length. Each summer session is seven weeks in length. Summer I commences in May. Summer II begins in late June. Downtown Riverfront Campus summer schedule overlaps both end of McNichols Summer I and start of McNichols Summer II.

  Full-Time and Part-Time Student Status

  An individual may undertake the M.B.A. Program on either a full-time or part-time basis. Full-time student status usually involves a nine or above credit-hour course load in Terms I and II. Part-time student status usually entails a 1-8.5 credit hour load in Terms I and II.

  Residence and Time Requirements

  Students who have not completed their required certificate program within two years may be subject to re-evaluation and additional coursework. Students not enrolled for more than four consecutive terms will be required to re-apply for admission.

  International Students

  International students should consult with the International Services Office.

  Advising

  The director of Graduate Business Programs serves as general academic advisor for all students entering the M.B.A. Program. When appropriate, specific advising matters may be referred to the advisor in a particular academic discipline.

  Student Responsibilities

  Students in the College of Business Administration are responsible and accountable for knowledge of the requirements and procedures set forth by the College and University. Administrators, advisors, and faculty are available to assist students by explaining the various requirements and procedures for each program. However, the ultimate responsibility for compliance rests with the student.

  Honor Societies

  Beta Gamma Sigma

  Membership in Beta Gamma Sigma, an international scholastic honor society for graduates in the field of business and management, is the highest international scholastic honor that a student in a school of business or management can achieve. Eligibility for membership in Beta Gamma Sigma places a student in a very select group and is conferred for a lifetime status. Beta Gamma Sigma chapters are only chartered in those business schools which are accredited by the AACSB International.

  Beta Alpha Psi

  Beta Alpha Psi is an honorary organization for Financial Information students and professionals. This membership is one of the highest scholastic honors that accounting and finance students can attain. As the premier professional accounting and business information fraternity, Beta Alpha Psi recognizes academic excellence and complements members' formal education by providing interaction between students, faculty and professionals, and fosters lifelong growth, service and ethical conduct. Beta Alpha Psi chapters may be chartered only in those schools of business and management accredited by AACSB International.

  Alpha Iota Delta

  Alpha Iota Delta is the international honor society that confers distinction for academic excellence in the decision sciences and information systems; promotes the infusion of the functional and behavioral areas of administration with tools, concepts and methodologies of the decision sciences and information systems; and promotes professional fellowship among students, faculty, administration and practitioners. The lifetime membership is by invitation, reflecting exceptional academic achievement and, perhaps, outstanding campus leadership and service.

  Global Jesuit Business Student Association

  The purposes of the GJBSA Honor Society are to confer distinction for academic excellence upon students attending Jesuit business schools and to encourage their pursuit of lifelong education; to acknowledge and promote a spirit of community involvement among its members; to promote and encourage ethical and socially responsible business practices among its members and in the global business community; and to act as a catalyst for the advancement of business thought and theory.
