Is a Combined JD/MBA Worth it?

IMPORTANT NOTE: The Combined JD/MBA typically includes two degrees. The MBA degree is separate from the JD despite the fact that they are often discussed as a combined program. Students would typically matriculate in the business school as well as the law school in order to fulfill the requirements for both degrees. However, please do check with the individual universities to see the specific regulations at the school you wish to attend.

This segment will provide you with a general introduction and overview of the combined JD/MBA program and whether it's something you should consider. As the price of law school and business school continues to rise, many have questioned whether these degrees would provide the benefits that can justify the costs associated to attending both degrees. We will attempt to cover some scenarios in which students should consider whether these programs make the most sense for them and their career.
