Business Administration, M.S.A. / J.D.

About the Business Administration Dual Degree Program

Rawls College, in association with the School of Law, offers a program that enables the student to earn both the Doctor of Jurisprudence and M.S.A. degrees. In many cases, the student in this program will be able to save numerous semester credit hours in comparison to those needed to complete both degrees separately. A student with an undergraduate accounting degree may complete both degrees with 105 hours of law and business courses. Application must be made to and approved by both the School of Law, and the Rawls College of Business.
