Law | MBA

The combination of legal and management training is in high demand, and graduates of both types of programs gain enhanced access to career opportunities in which they are able to effect positive change.

The Drucker School has teamed with Southwestern Law School to create an exciting concurrent degree program to help students enhance their educational and career options: the Juris Doctor/Masters of Business Administration.
