JD/MBA

To apply to the JD/MBA program, candidates must complete the NYU Stern Dual Degree application as well as an application for NYU Law.

While no additional admissions standards are applied to dual degree applications at either school, students qualify for the dual degree program only upon admission to both NYU Stern and the School of Law. Applicants will only be considered for admission to the dual degree program if they are first offered admission to NYU Law's JD program. The review process of JD/MBA applicants will only begin after they are admitted by the NYU School of Law. While NYU Stern will make every effort to provide a timely review of these applications, due to the nature of the dual degree process, we cannot provide a specific notification date.

Students begin at the School of Law, and enrollment at Stern is deferred for two years. Students at the School of Law may also apply to Stern in their first or second year by the JD/MBA application deadline.

Detailed instructions for completing the JD application are provided on the School of Law admissions website.
