Santa Clara Law

• Located in California, Santa Clara Law offers a combined JD/MBA program that offers some flexibility if you've already taken some of the coursework. Each student meets with an adviser and comes up with an individualized course plan. This is a full-time program but if you've already taken undergraduate business coursework, some of the MBA coursework may be waived. Santa Clara only admits about 10% of applicants; these students have demonstrated leadership skills and a strong academic record. As with most other JD/MBA programs, students must submit applications through both the law school and business school.

Northwestern Law

• This university initiated the United States' first three-year accelerated JD/MBA program in 1999. There is a track of courses set for the students and they go through the program together, as a cohort. The first year is spent at the law school and the second is spent at the business college, Kellogg School of Management. Students do an internship over the summer and then return to study law during the third year. Again, only about 10% of applicants get in but this school is unique in that the application process is fully integrated so students only submit one application instead of two.

Stetson University

• The JD/MBA program at Stetson works a little differently than other programs. At this school, you apply to the law school and after your first year, you may apply for the MBA program. All coursework is complete in three years of full-time study. There is a part-time option as well. The law college is located in Gulfport, Florida and business courses are available at any of the school's three campuses.
