JD/MBA (HOM)
Degree Information
The School of Law, in association with the Graduate School, offers a program that enables interested students to earn both the Doctor of Jurisprudence (J.D.) and Master of Business Administration (M.B.A.) degrees in three to four years of academic work. Interested students may apply for a concentration in Health Organization Management.
Curriculum

The program is designed principally for the student who wishes to acquire broad business knowledge to complement legal training. A student without a business background may complete both degrees with 112 hours of law and business courses (a net savings of 24 hours from the total hours necessary if the degree programs were pursued separately). This savings is made possible by allowing 12 hours of approved law courses to transfer as elective credit toward the M.B.A. degree and vice versa.
Admissions Information
Admissions Process
Interested students must declare their intent to pursue the joint degree no later than their fourth semester in Law School. The first year of study consists entirely of law courses. During the second and third years, the remaining required law courses are to be com- pleted together with selected law electives and an appropriate number of graduate business core courses.
Students may enroll in the Graduate School at Texas Tech University and complete all leveling coursework and earn up to 12 credit hours toward the M.B.A. in the academic year prior to matriculation to the Law School. Students who have earned more than 12 credit hours (excluding leveling coursework) prior to matriculation to the Law School are ineligible for the J.D. joint degree program.
