Full-Time M.B.A. / J.M. Dual Degree Program


The M.B.A. / J.M. dual degree program is designed to enhance a student's business knowledge and  professional pursuits with legal grounding relevant to their profession or industry.

The J.M. is a 24-credit-hour program that allows students to customize their coursework to meet their individual career needs, and may be completed full-time in one-year.  While there are many J.M. specialization tracks available, following are several that may be relevant to M.B.A. students: 

  • Business Law
  • Environmental
  • Healthcare
  • Intellectual Property
  • Investment Banking
  • Labor and Employment
  • Media & Communications
  • Mergers & Acquisitions
  • Real Estate

M.B.A. / J.M. dual degree students would earn an M.B.A. from Goizueta Business School in addition to a J.M. degree from Emory Law School; neither degree would be awarded until the requirements for both are complete.  This arrangement will allow M.B.A. / J.M. students to add the J.M. credential with the addition of two semesters for the One-Year M.B.A. program and one semester for the Two-Year M.B.A. program.

While enrolled in the JM program, M.B.A. / J.M. dual degree students must carry at least 12 credit hours each semester at the Law School.

Scholarships

Scholarships for the J.M. program may be available to students pursing the M.B.A. / J.M. dual degree.  All applicants will be considered for a scholarship during the application process, and decisions made on a holistic basis.

Application Process

All M.B.A. / J.M. dual degree applications will be reviewed and application decisions made independently by Goizueta Business School and Emory Law School.  Both schools must agree to admit the applicants to the M.B.A. / J.M. dual degree program.  Should one school deny admission to an applicant, the applicant would be denied admission to the M.B.A. / J.M. dual degree program.  The applicant may still be accepted to either academic program independent of the other academic program.
