B2. Juris Doctor/Master of Business Administration Three-Year
Program
Suffolk Law's Three-Year JD/MBA program allows students to complete both a JD and an MBA
degree in three years, instead of four. In the three-year program students enroll in courses during
the summers between their first and second year of study and between their second and third year
of study in order to complete the requisite number of credits for both degrees. The program
allows students to count a limited number of credits toward both degrees, thus reducing the
number of credits that would be required if the degrees were earned separately.
A candidate must obtain a total of 109 credits for the joint degree. To qualify for the dual degree,
a candidate must obtain 84 credits in the Law School, of which 12 credits may be awarded for
courses taken in the Sawyer Business School; and 72 credits must be taken in the Law School.
Candidates must obtain 37 credits in the Sawyer Business School.
A candidate for the Three-Year JD/MBA program must be a full-time student and is required to
meet the admission standards of the Law School and the Sawyer Business School. A candidate
MUST file two applications: one to the Law School and one to the University Graduate
Admissions Office.
Both applications should indicate the selection of the dual degree. The Law School evaluates the
application for admission criteria applicable to the Law side of the dual degree. The Graduate
Admission Office evaluates the application for admission criteria to the MBA.
A student considering the Three-Year JD/MBA program should apply to the Law School as an
Accelerated JD/MBA student.
