J.D./M.B.A. Application

In order to be admitted to the joint program, you must first apply and be admitted to Villanova University School of Law.

You then must apply separately to the Villanova University M.B.A. Program.  This application can be filed when you apply to law school or you can wait and apply during your first year of law school. The M.B.A. program requires that you take the GMAT, which is a computer-adaptive test that is available year-round at local test centers. We strongly encourage students who are interested in the joint program to take the GMAT before entering law school. Given the rigors of the first year of law school, it is not advisable to spend time studying for the GMAT.

Once you have applied and been accepted separately into J.D. program and the M.B.A. program, a determination is made by the Director of the Law School's joint program and the Director the M.B.A. Program at the College of Commerce and Finance whether you are an acceptable candidate for the joint program.
