JD Classes Substituted for MBA Classes For JD/MBA students, the director of the MBA program will have the discretion to approve course substitutions of up to nine credits from the following list of courses offered by the School of Law: Why a JD/MBA? The Cecil C. Humphreys School of Law and the Fogelman College of Business & Economics offer a coordinated degree program leading to the JD/MBA degree. The purpose of this joint degree program is to allow students to study the intricacies of modern law and business management as a coordinated educational effort. Students who are contemplating a career as a lawyer specializing in business issues and want to acquire the skills and perspective of the business manager will find the JD/MBA especially helpful. An additional benefit of the JD/MBA program is that it offers the student the ability to complete both the JD and MBA in considerably less time than is required to complete each degree separately. Benefits of the Program The School of Law will award credit toward the JD degree for nine hours of approved core curriculum coursework from the MBA program with a grade of B or better. Grades in these MBA courses transfer to the School of Law on a Pass/No Grade basis. Grades in MBA courses are not used to determine academic standing or class rank in the School of Law. These nine credit hours count for a portion of the JD elective hours. The College of Business & Economics will award credit toward the MBA degree for nine credit hours of approved courses offered by the School of Law. The student must earn a C+ or better in these law classes. The law classes will not be used toward computing the MBA grade point average; however, no more than two Cs may count toward the MBA portion of the joint degree program. These nine credit hours count for three elective hours and six required hours of the MBA degree. The decision on which six required hours are substituted is at the discretion of the director of the MBA program.
