JD and Business Leadership (MBA) Program

The JD and Business Leadership (MBA) Program combines the analytical rigor of legal training with the strategic leadership of a business degree. Scalia Law students can fast-track their graduate business education by leveraging their existing legal coursework to save both time and tuition.

Upon graduation from Scalia Law, the Costello MBA will apply 15 of a law student’s 89 standard JD credit hours toward the 48 credit hours for the MBA, leaving only 33 credits remaining for the MBA.

Candidates interested in the JD to Business Leadership (MBA) Program must follow these steps to enroll into the MBA program.

During the first month of your final year of law school, begin your application to the Costello MBA program.
In the application, select “Yes” under Application Pathways where it states: “Please select yes if you have received notification from the Costello College of Business Graduate Programs Admission Team to choose this option.” Selecting “Yes” will require you to upload proof of eligibility in a later section and will remove the letters of recommendation and personal statement requirements.
Later in the application, upload documentation confirming your eligibility for the Program. This may be a letter from the Scalia Registrar confirming your anticipated graduation date, or if you have already graduated, a copy of your diploma.
Contact the Costello Graduate Admission Team to request an Application Fee Waiver.
Admission is guaranteed to any Scalia Juris Doctor student or alumni from the past ten years applying to the MBA program.
