Candidates for the joint degree program must apply and be admitted to both the College of Law and the Atkinson Graduate School of Management. Admission to one of the degree programs does not guarantee admission to the other.
The College of Law and the Atkinson School also award scholarships separately. A scholarship given by one program does not apply while a student is studying at the other program.
MBA/JD students who receive scholarship assistance from the MBA program will receive the scholarship only for the first academic year in which they are enrolled full-time in the MBA program.
