Concurrent Degree Programs
Candidates for joint degree programs must follow the specific application guidelines for each program. See the respective web sites for further details.
JD/MBA Program
Haas offers a JD/MBA
program in conjunction with either UC Berkeley’s
Boalt Hall School of Law or UC Hastings College
of the Law. Candidates for the JD/MBA program
complete separate applications and receive separate
decisions from each school. If you are already
enrolled in your first year of law school at Boalt
or Hastings, you may apply to begin the JD/MBA
program in your second or third year. (Typically,
students at Boalt are encouraged to complete the
first two years of law courses prior to entering
the first year of the MBA program.)
If you apply before attending either program,
you should specify which year you intend to enroll
in the business school for the fall term. If you
are offered admission to both programs and choose
to begin your Law School course work first, you
will be allowed to defer your business school
entry for up to two years, provided you have enrolled
as a full-time student in the JD program.
MBA/MPH Program in Health Management
To apply for the MBA/MPH program, prospective students must complete the MBA application for the Haas School of Business and indicate interest in the joint degree program. The School of Public Health does not require a separate application. MBA/MPH applications must be submitted by the final MBA deadline, and admission decisions follow the MBA schedule. In addition to strong academic achievement in previous scholastic work and a strong score on the GMAT, applicants will be evaluated on their professional experience, as well as on personal attributes. Applicants will receive one joint decision. In other words, applicants will either be admitted to both programs or denied from both programs. It is not possible to be admitted to only one program.
MBA/MA Program in International and Area Studies
Students may apply during their first year in the MBA program for a concurrent degree program in International and Area Studies. Application deadlines are in late March; interested students should pick up an application packet in February. Requirements include proficiency in a modern foreign language.
