    A new, innovative MBA program design was approved by the UCC and faculty senate in the 2016-2017 academic year. In conjunction with Chase Law School, we are updating the previous JD/MBA program to reflect the MBA program changes that took place last year. This was an oversight that should have been submitted at the same time as the redesigned MBA which we are now trying to take care as we have interested applicants.

  • If changing multiple program options for more than one program offering, provide detailed list of all changes broken down individually
    i.e. changing core curriculum, hours, and electives for major, and changing core curriculum for minor.

  • If changing Admission Standards, please consult the correct catalog publication for program requirements and paste text below. Do not note proposed changes until proposal is launched.

  • Admission Standards

    Admission Process and Requirements

    New Students

    Applicants for the JD/MBA degree program must apply to and meet the separate admission requirements for each college.

    The College of Law operates a dual-division program, which accommodates both full-time and part-time students. The Haile/US Bank College of Business accepts students in summer, fall and spring terms. Applicants may apply for admission as either full-time students or part-time students in both sections of the program, though the length of the program will be extended considerably for part-time evening JD/MBA students.

    To be considered for admission to the MBA program, an applicant must submit the following:

    A portfolio approach is used in evaluating prospective students for acceptance into the MBA program. Factors considered for admission include:

    • Online application and fee
    • Official transcripts of all undergraduate and graduate (if applicable) coursework from accredited institutions with a minimum undergraduate overall grade point average (GPA) of 2.75. Acceptable transcripts should show evidence of successful completion of quantitative courses.*
    • Current resume with 3 years of professional work experience.
    • No longer than one page (single spaced) essay stating your motivation for pursuing an MBA.
    • If an international applicant, IBT, TOEFL or equivalent with a minimum score of 550 or IELTS minimum score of 6.5 must be submitted to the NKU Office for International Students and Scholar Services.

    *Students are required to take the GMAT or GRE if their transcripts do not show evidence of successful completion of quantitative courses. Although scores make up only one factor in the admissions process, it is anticipated that successful applicants will have a minimum overall score of 520 on the GMAT (comparable GRE scores will also be considered).

    For application deadline dates and a more complete description of the MBA admission materials, see previous section on MBA program or information on the web at http://www.nku.edu/academics/cob/programs/graduate/mba.html.

  • Program Description

    The JD/MBA is an attractive alternative for individuals wishing to practice law and/or business in an increasingly dynamic and complex environment. It is designed to augment the knowledge of students who seek to expand their expertise in the business arena. Accordingly, the number of semester hours required to obtain the joint degree is fewer than the number required if each degree is pursued independently.
