YLS and SOM to Offer Accelerated JD-MBA Program

    

Posted on: March 5, 2009

New
Haven, Conn., March 5, 2009 –Yale Law School and the Yale School of
Management (SOM) have announced the creation of an Accelerated
Integrated JD-MBA program that will enable students to earn both
degrees in three years.

The new combined program in law and
business is unique in that it offers the two degrees in three academic
years (six semesters), without the need for summer classes. It is
designed primarily for students interested in business law but will be
useful in a variety of settings involving business and management.

"The
program will prepare students for the increasingly complex intersection
of business and law," said Yale Law School Dean Harold Hongju Koh.
"Students will master analytical and quantitative skills that will be
of value for a business law-related practice but also more broadly for
careers as entrepreneurs and managers in business and non-profit
organizations."

Students in the Accelerated Integrated JD-MBA
program will be fully immersed in the required curriculum and community
life at each school and will graduate with their entering class at both
the Law School and SOM. During the two summers, students are free to
gain valuable experience in law or business related positions.

Students
can apply to enter the Accelerated Integrated JD-MBA program during
their first year of Law School. Once accepted to the program, the
second year will be spent at SOM and the third year at the Law School.

Yale
School of Management Dean Sharon M. Oster commented, "We are excited to
be partnering with Yale Law School to provide this accelerated JD-MBA
program. Both schools have a strong reputation for developing leaders
for business and society, and this program allows us to draw more
efficiently on the unique strengths of each institution to continue to
train such leaders."

Yale Law School and the School of
Management will continue to offer the existing four-year joint degree
program as an option. The accelerated program will initially be offered
for a provisional term of two years, after which both schools will
jointly assess the program’s success factors and future course.

Tempting indeed, but notice that it's for Yale Law Student only...if you are a law student, the school will give you a chance to study business, seems always the case for most of the top law schools....yale, nyu law etc. Never seen the other way around....the bottom line is, one has to get in Yale law first before being considered for this joint program...

and getting in Yale Law is....simply a daunting job for most Chinese candidates...
