Joint Degrees

Why Choose between a JD and an MBA? You can earn both at the same time.

At Golden Gate, you can earn both JD and MBA degrees simultaneously. After your first year of law school, you apply to the MBA program at Golden Gate University and normally do not need to take the GMAT or GRE. The combined program begins after your first year of law school.
