Program Description

Students who wish to enroll in the joint J.D./M.E.M. program must be accepted by the Stuart School into the M.E.M. program and complete a Registration as a J.D./M.E.M. Student form in the Registrar's office. Joint Program students may apply up to five approved M.E.M. courses taken at the Stuart School of Business toward the requirements for the J.D. degree. A J.D./M.E.M. Course Request form must be completed before the course begins for each M.E.M. course the student intends to apply to the J.D. requirements. No credit may be applied toward the J.D. degree for courses completed prior to the commencement of law studies.

To receive J.D. credit for a course, the student must earn at least a C in the course. Students receive 2.4 credit hours toward the J.D. degree for each M.E.M. course successfully completed, up to a maximum of 12 hours. If a student takes fewer than five M.E.M. courses, the student will receive 2.4 credit hours per course, rounded down to the nearest whole number. The M.E.M. course grades will not count in the student's J.D. grade point average. For additional information and program requirements, contact Dean Sowle for law school information or Dean Zia Hassan (room 430C; phone 906-6515) for business school information.
