Employment Information

Our JD-MBA graduates are hired by the nation’s most prestigious law firms, investment banks, consulting firms, and private equity companies. Due to the additional management and business abilities these students possess and their heightened practice readiness, some law firms provide JD-MBA graduates with a signing bonus or start them at second-year associate status. Our JD-MBA alumni are partners in many of the nation’s leading law firms, occupy executive positions and serve as corporate counsel in many of the world’s most reputable companies, and are senior leaders of important government and nonprofit organizations.  

Our JD-MBA graduates also enjoy geographic flexibility with the majority employed in regions outside of the Midwest. Among our JD-MBA alumni of the past decade, over 70% are located outside of the Midwest.

Our JD-MBA alumni fare extremely well in the employment market, aided by the career path diversification and education the dual degree provides. Over the past twenty years, nearly all JD-MBA graduates have obtained full-time, long-term employment with legal or business employers within ten months of graduation. Historically, one-half of our JD-MBA graduates have pursued positions in the law and one-half in business. In recent years, more graduates have started off their careers in law.
