Looking for a strong foundation in law and business?

The JD/On Campus MBA Dual Degree is for you! This program offers current JD students at Rutgers Law School the ability to earn an additional degree, while making themselves even more marketable.

Past graduates of Rutgers–Camden’s JD/On Campus MBA have found success with law firms, investment and accounting firms, general business organizations, corporate counsel offices, government organizations, and non-profits.

  • Engage with faculty and other students with small classes and close interaction.
  • Collaborate with a dedicated support staff.
  • Start in the Fall, Spring, or Summer.
  • Attend classes full or part-time.

Dual Degree Curricula

Rutgers Law School’s curriculum ensures the development of professional skills and values within a theoretical framework that promotes intellectual growth and a commitment to social justice. Typical full-time students complete the 84 credits required for graduation in three years and part-time students typically complete the program in four years. 

The JD/On Campus MBA Dual Degree program starts after the second year of Law School. The applicant would apply in the middle of their second year to the On-Campus MBA program in the Rutgers School of Business–Camden. They would take one year off from Law School and complete their MBA at the Camden Campus. After finishing up their MBA, the students return to Law School to complete their law degree.

Rutgers Law School's Dual Degree Programs

The On Campus MBA curriculum consists of 42 credits (14 courses), which is based on the premise that there is a common body of knowledge important for managerial decision making, and elective courses selected by the student after completion of appropriate prerequisite courses.  JD courses will fulfill the four elective courses.

  • Excel

  • The Story of Business

5 Required Courses:

Alumni Highlights​


As an undergraduate business major, I was looking for a way to intersect my interests in business and law, which is why I pursued my JD/MBA at Rutgers. Upon graduation from the Dual Degree program, I started as a bankruptcy and restructuring associate at Saul Ewing Arnstein & Lehr LLP in Philadelphia, where I regularly use my business background to understand corporate restructuring issues and interact with our business clients. I also believe my Dual Degree has given me a better understanding of how the business of a law firm works, which is critical to understanding department and firm goals.

BLDP Application

The Spring 2023 Application is now open! 

Priority will be given to applications received by November 18. Applications are accepted until all seats are filled. Space is limited, so apply early!

The seminar application process is our gateway for entry into the program. Upon acceptance into BLDP, students will be emailed their acceptance letter plus a special permission number allowing registration for the BLDP seminar.

Requirements

Seminar applications are solicited each semester and require the following:

  1. Completed application form (at the bottom of this page),
  2. For students with GPA 3.0 – 3.49, two (2) letters of recommendation (one academic; one other)

Rutgers-Camden students are invited to apply to apply for enrollment in the BLDP seminar. All applicants are expected to meet both of the following selection criteria:  (1) have sophomore standing or above and (2) have an overall GPA of 3.0 or above. First-semester transfer students will be evaluated based on their GPA earned at Rutgers. Students who fail to meet these admission criteria may still be allowed to apply for (and possibly enroll in) the BLDP seminar, but they will be evaluated on a case-by-case basis.

The director balances evaluations to make final decisions on people accepted for the seminar (up to a maximum of 15-20 each semester).

Students who are admitted to the BDLP are required to adopt the BLDP Code of Conduct. A signed contract is required from each student.

Students may count activities toward “leadership units” that were initiated prior to taking a seminar, as long as those activities occured primarily during their enrollment in their academic program.

Application for Admission to BLDP Seminar

Applications for the BLDP Seminar will be ongoing until class is filled.
