The Osgoode-Schulich Juris Doctor / Master of Business Administration Program offers students the benefit of degrees from two of Canada’s top-ranked professional schools. By combining a JD from Osgoode Hall Law School and a MBA from the Schulich School of Business, students will graduate well-equipped with the skills and connections to pursue careers in various business and law fields. Some examples include:
- Corporate/Commercial Law & Administration
- Business Management
- Corporate Tax Planning
- Economic Regulation
- Finance
- International Business
- Labour Law & Relations
- Public Administration
- Environmental Law
- Real Property Development
Program Structure
Typically students complete the program in four years. The first year is spent at either the Law School or Business School, and the second year is spent completing the first year of the other program. The remaining two years are spent in both programs.
JD/MBA students have access to the support and resources at both schools, including financial aid, career services and a wide array of student organizations. Students also benefit from numerous social and professional networking opportunities arranged exclusively for joint program students by the very active JD/MBA Students’ Association.
Application Information
Applicants must apply and be accepted into both programs to be eligible for admission to the joint program. While most students will apply prior to starting their studies at either school, a small number of students are accepted into the program after completing their first year at either school.
