The full MBA curriculum is available online for you. Through a combination of pre-recorded lectures and live online sessions, you gain flexibility while still enjoying face time with professors during the synchronous live sessions.

Each MBA course is three credit hours and is offered on weekday evenings in the fall, spring, and summer. The courses run for eight weeks in an A/B semester format.

For the JD + MBA program, you will complete 27 credit hours of MBA foundation and core courses. You will start with the MBA foundations, designed to equip you with the business acumen and graduate-level rigor you will need to succeed. These foundational topics provide the background for future coursework, enabling your professors to delve deeper into the core MBA content.

To meet the elective requirements for the MBA degree, you will need to take at least 9 credit hours of approved electives from the law curriculum. These must include LAW 3255 Corporations or LAW 3154 Business Entities.

For more details on the curriculum and courses, you can refer to the Stetson University Course Catalog.

Requirements

To join the JD + MBA program, you must first apply to the College of Law and gain admission. After completing your first year of law school, you can apply to add the MBA to your program. Acceptance into both the JD program (offered by the College of Law) and the MBA program (offered by the School of Business Administration) is required, as you will need to meet the entrance requirements for each program separately.

Application for Admission

Here is what you will need to apply:

• Official transcripts from all colleges and universities you have attended (requested from the College of Law)*
• Two references (names and contact information)
• Resume detailing your professional and educational history
• Personal Statement explaining your career goals, reasons for pursuing the program, and why you want to attend Stetson University's School of Business Administration

To complete the dual program in three years, you will generally begin MBA classes after your first year of law school and take two courses during your first summer.

*When applying to the MBA program, you will need to request your Law School application documents, including transcripts, to be sent from the College of Law to the Office of Graduate Admissions. Additionally, you must provide an official transcript from the College of Law showing your progress in the JD program. To remain eligible, you must maintain a law GPA within the top 75% of your class.
