Humphreys School of Law and are interested in modern law and management. This joint program offers the student the ability to complete both the JD and MBA degrees in less time than it takes to complete them separately.Program SequenceStudents in the coordinated MBA/JD program may schedule their course work in the joint program to suit their educational objectives, subject to the restrictions listed below:A student may take only law courses while completing the first year law curriculum.A law student must begin the MBA program before beginning the third year of law school course work.An MBA student must begin law school before completing one half of the course work in the MBA program.Important note about costsThe University of Memphis charges a student in a joint degree program the higher tuition for all credits earned in either degree. Since law school tuition is higher than graduate business school tuition, students in the joint degree are charged law school tuition rates for course credit in both law school and business school, even if a student only takes business school courses in a given semester.
