Program Overview

At the completion of the four-year integrated program, the successful student is awarded both the Juris Doctor and the Master of Business Administration degree. Students typically begin the program in the Faculty of Law. The first year of study is identical to that of any first-year law students. The second year of the program is spent at the Rotman School, where students are enrolled in the same curriculum as first year MBA students (i.e. no time is spent in courses at the Law School.) The third and fourth years of the program are a hybrid of legal and business studies.
Students must achive a “B” standing from those first year courses taken at the Faculty of Law and a “B+” standing from those first year courses at the Rotman School in order to progress to the upper years of the program.

Students may not take any courses for credit outside of the faculties of Law and Management except on an approved exchange program with permission from both faculties
