JD/MBA | JD/MPA - Degree Partnerships Program

Jumpstart Your Career

We know that some students want to augment their legal education with another graduate degree.

Now you can earn a J.D. degree plus a Master of Business Administration (MBA) or a Master of Public Administration (MPA) degree at Cooley Law School and Oakland University. The Cooley-Oakland partnership acknowledges the close connection between business, government and the law.

If you are admitted to both degree programs and signify your intent to participate in this special partnership program, you can reduce the total number of credit hours required to earn both degrees.

Six hours of designated courses are transferred from Cooley Law School to Oakland University, and another six credits of approved courses are transferred from Oakland to Cooley. The result is a total program reduction of twelve semester hours.

Your professional credentials are doubled. You save twelve credit hours of tuition. Most important, you earn complementary degrees from two leading institutions of higher education, acquiring professionally useful, contemporary knowledge and skills that are not offered in one degree program alone.

The very desirable outcome is that you may have a career edge over those who have not taken the second step.
