Quotes:
“JD/MBA degree students will benefit from a cross section of disciplines, including the culture of law and business graduates,” said Steve Allen, associate dean for graduate programs and research in the NC State Poole College of Management. “Students in the dual program will be well prepared for careers in business, finance, law, government, nonprofit organizations, teaching and research. Some students may even go on to governmental roles in North Carolina, helping identify and solve problems facing the state.”
“Businesses need to have lawyers on staff in order to accomplish their goals, so by having a dual JD/MBA degree, graduates will become even more marketable,” said Melissa A. Essary, dean and professor of law at the Norman Adrian Wiggins School of Law at Campbell University. “Law is a gateway degree, opening up many doors and careers. If coupled with a great MBA degree, this gateway is widened considerably.”
