OVERVIEW The Davis College of Business at Jacksonville University and Florida Coastal School of Law have created a joint degree program through which qualified students may pursue a Juris Doctor (JD) and a Masters in Business Administration (MBA) from both schools simultaneously. Graduates with a joint JD/MBA degree can develop the skills needed to pursue careers in the business and legal professions, especially where those areas overlap such as investment and commercial banking, management consulting, government regulation, and business policy analysis.
Why pursue this joint degree? This JD/MBA program offers an unparalleled combination of legal and business education, allowing students to apply nine credits earned at Coastal Law to the credits required for the MBA degree and nine credits earned at Davis in MBA courses to the JD degree. In addition to concurrently participating in the academic and social life of both schools, students will be able to obtain both diplomas in four years, as compared to the five years required to earn both degrees when pursued separately.
How do I enroll? Students with baccalaureate degrees in any field are welcome to apply. Coastal Law reviews applications on a rolling basis and later submissions will still be considered. Applicants must meet the entrance requirements for both Coastal Law and Davis and be accepted into each institution. Additionally, a dual degree enrollment form must be approved by each school. Admission to one program does not guarantee that an applicant will be admitted to the other.
