Concurrent MBA and JD or MA Degrees

Do you have interests complementary to business? Want to practice corporate law? Become a sports agent? Students before you have earned MBA degrees in conjunction with their JD or masters degrees in art history, Asian studies, environmental studies, and international studies, to name just some of the possibilities. You must be admitted to both the MBA program and the concurrent one.

Degree	Stand-Alone Degree Requirements	JD/MA Concurrent Degree Requirements
MBA	2 years (75 term credits)	60 term credits minimum
JD	85 semester hours (70 graded)	75 semester hours (67 graded)

During Your Journey

Experiential Learning

In keeping with the Lundquist College's mission, experiential education will be a core value and competency emphasized throughout the Oregon MBA curriculum. Experiential learning is more than just learning by doing or applying theoretical lessons to practical situations. It's about reflecting and evaluating. It's about feedback and continuous improvement. What worked? What didn't? How might we do better next time?

Much of the experiential learning in the Oregon MBA program is mediated by the business school's four centers. Among the experiential learning course work students complete is the Strategic Planning Project (SPP). Another principal experiential learning opportunity for entrepreneurially minded students is the Venture Launch Pathway, in which some students are given the opportunity to present at business plan competitions nationally and internationally. If you are pursuing in the innovation and entrepreneurship specialization and qualify for these competitions, you may elect the Venture Pathway in lieu of the Strategic Planning Project. In addition, finance and securities analysis students actively manage the Emerging Markets Fund portfolio instead of completing the Strategic Planning Project.

Other experiential learning opportunities include our hallmark Engaging Asia study tour, as well as study tours to New York, San Francisco, Portland, Seattle, and more.
