MBA/JD Dual Degree

Hello everyone -

I will be finishing up my degree online (COVID, and convenience).  It is from a non-target institution, so there are some drawbacks to this.  However, I have background experience that allows some exploration and added qualifications to apply into an MBA/JD program at a local institution. 

Is this worth exploring?  I want to learn about both the business understanding and understand about contracts.  I would also want to get licensed to work to give back to the community as well.  I donate and starting to participate volunteer hours for nonprofits I am passionate about.  

Is anyone here have both qualifications?  How did it work out?


Thank you.

It’s a hard sell for two reasons:

1) there are no careers that explicitly use it.

2) The forgone income and experience by adding extra years of schooling given no careers use it.

I think the only situation it makes sense is you are wealthy, interested in the law, and care less about career progression. I would view it closer to a philosophy degree than something you are going to concretely use.

 

Law probably has more specializations than any industry. A business contract for example in the consumer space will require professional review from a lawyer that has worked in that industry and jurisdiction. You'll learn something from getting a JD but those will just be basic skills, enough to get you a job at a big law firm. JD itself is not enough to be 100% sure you understand all of the nuances of the contract you're reading. 

If you do MBA/JD, you won't get any benefits of the MBA and instead spend hours studying on a JD instead of networking. IF you want to do a JD, get a law degree. Maybe if this is at Columbia University, I would recommend it. But my first point still stands.
