Business Administration
Business Administration - MBA/JD The program is designed to instill in students the knowledge, skills and background necessary to function in the law, business, and public service arenas. This joint degree is appropriate for those students who seek public service careers, or for those seeking corporate careers in legal, tax or accounting departments. Individuals with degrees in both disciplines may be sought as advisors to business policy makers and government agencies that regulate business. Baruch College admits students for either the fall or spring semester. Students can pursue an MBA/JD on a full or part-time basis. A student may receive up to nine of the 86 credits required for the JD degree by successfully completing approved course work in the MBA program. Similarly, a student may receive up to nine of the 57 credits for the MBA program by successfully completing approved law school courses. Students enrolled in the law school's full-time program may complete the requirements for both degrees in four-and-a-half to five years, including summers. If pursued on a part-time basis, the program generally takes five-and-a-half to six years to complete, including summers. The MBA and JD degrees are conferred after degree requirements at both institutions have been satisfied.

Urban Planning - MUP/JD Urban planners often turn to the legal profession for implementation of their work, and lawyers seek planners' advice in identifying present and future land use choices for public and private clients. Individuals with credentials in both areas are increasingly sought as advisers for urban policy makers and clients with urban land problems. This program is designed to provide students with the knowledge, basic skills and background necessary to practice both professions. Hunter College admits students for either the fall or spring semester. Students typically spend their first year in the Urban Planning program, followed by one year at the law school, and then integrate studies by registering concurrently in both schools. Alternatively, students may reverse this pattern by initially enrolling in the law school. Students can pursue an MUP/JD on a full or part-time basis. In the MUP/JD joint program, a student may receive up to 10 of the 86 credits required for the JD degree by successfully completing approved course work in the MUP program. Similarly, a student may receive up to 15 of the 60 credits for the MUP degree by successfully completing approved law school courses. If the joint program is pursued on a full-time basis, it may be completed in four years, including one summer. If the law school component is pursued on a part-time basis, the program may be completed in five years, including at least one summer session. With approval, the MUP degree may be awarded in advance of the JD degree; otherwise, degrees are awarded concurrently upon completion of all degree requirements.
