Program Overview

Overview

This 152-credit degree program offers a combination of legal and business degrees exclusively to students who were undergraduate business majors. These credentials are ideal for anyone with a long-term goal of servicing top corporate clients or becoming a senior executive in the real estate/real property arena. They also serve as significant assets in today's competitive marketplace to any attorney starting out in real estate law.

In this unique program, students can obtain three degrees in four years – a J.D., an M.B.A., and an LL.M. Students are essentially able to complete both the LL.M. and J.D. degrees in seven semesters and can complete an M.B.A. degree with only an additional two semesters or fewer, if summer school courses are taken.

Admission Requirements

• Once J.D students begin their 2L year of law school, they can apply to the LL.M. program in Real Property Development after having completed specific prerequisites, during fall or spring of their 2L year, but before the end of the spring semester of the second year.
• Early in the 2L year, students should apply to the Accelerated MBA program to be considered for any financial aid/scholarship options available at the School of Business.
