Master ofBusiness Administration/Juris Doctor
Graduate Adviser
With society becoming increasingly complex, the administration of private and public
business enrerprises requires greater interaction with the legal system. Concurrenr with
this development, there is an increasing need for lawyers who are fully trained in administration
and management. A currenr practice of modern professional graduate and law
schools is the inclusion ofsome study in a complementary discipline as an integral pan of
their separate programs.
In recognition of this interdisciplinary need, the Merrick School of Business has
authorized a combined degree program with both the University of Baltimore School of
Law and the University of Maryland at Baltimore School of Law. These twO dual degree
programs lead to both the ].0. and the M.B.A. The program is designed to give students
the most relevant courses in a sequence that most effectively utilizes the relation inherent
between these courses in the two schools.
The M.B.A.lJ.O. program allows a student to obtain M .B.A. and J.D. degrees in an
integrated sequence of courses over a three- to four-year period. The Law School will
transfer nine credits of required M.B.A. courses as law electives. The Merrick School will
transfer nine credits of law electives as M.B.A. electives.
ADMISSION AND ADVISEMENT
Students need to apply and be admitted into both the Law School and the Merrick
School. The LSAT may be used in lieu of the GMAT, if the student has been accepted into
the Law School. The M.B.A.I].O. adviser prepares a program plan of study. This plan lists
the courses required to meet the M.B.A. degree requirements. The School of Law also
counsels students particularly with regard to blending the degree requirements. Students
do not take business courses during the first year of law school and either begin their
M.B.A. after the first year, or interrupt the M.B.A. for two semesters.
