JD-MBA

Program Highlights Accelerate your study In the short span of three years - rather than the five it would take to complete both degrees separately - students earn a JD from Northwestern Law and an MBA from Kellogg. Stand at the intersection of Law and Business The uniquely designed program combines academic grounding, analytical skills, and practical insights that will allow you to succeed in either law or business. Employers value the creativity, critical thinking and commitment that earning degrees from Northwestern Law and Kellogg requires. Build a stellar network from two elite schools As a student at both Kellogg and Northwestern Law School, you become part of an expanded and prestigious global network of alumni known for their willingness to support each other professionally and personally. The structure of our JD/MBA Program offers a double advantage: you will graduate with your first-year classmates from both programs and continue those rewarding lifelong connections as alumni. Learn from experience The program offers a rich array of experiential learning opportunities, enabling you to apply knowledge gained in the classroom to real-world, on-the-ground experiences. Students, for example, can provide legal and strategic consulting to small businesses through Northwestern’s Entrepreneurship Law Center. They can also tackle challenges for international organizations through Global Lab or work at a venture fund or incubator through Venture Lab.
