The University of New Brunswick offers a Joint
LLB/MBA (Bachelor of Laws and Master of Business
Administration) Program which allows students
to receive both degrees in four years. The Joint
Degree Program is open to students who may not
have a business degree, although students with
a business degree may be given advanced standing
towards meeting the MBA requirements.
For each academic year, students will be registered
in either the LLB or MBA program and pay the usual
tuition fees for that program. Students must attend
a minimum of two years at the Law School and one
year in the MBA program. Normally a student would
complete the first year of each degree program.
Then, for the final two years, the student would
be registered in the LLB program and take a number
of prescribed business-related law courses.
Admission to the Joint LLB/MBA Program
Applicants must apply and be accepted to each
program separately. The eligibility requirements
and selection procedures for an applicant intending
to complete the Joint Degree Program are the same
as for any applicant to the LLB or MBA degree
program. While an undergraduate degree is normally
required for admission to the MBA program, completion
of the first year of the LLB program coupled with
three years of post secondary education may be
considered equivalent to an undergraduate degree
for purposes of admission.
Acceptance to the Joint Degree Program may occur
in three situations as described below. However,
since a student must complete a number of prescribed
course while in the Joint Degree Program, normally
a student would complete the first year of each
degree program. For the final two years, a student
would then be registered in the LLB program and
take a number of prescribed business related law
courses.
- An applicant may be accepted for admission
to each degree program simultaneously. Where
an applicant applies for admission to both degree
programs simultaneously and is accepted to both,
the applicant must advise the Program Supervisor
of his or her intention to enrol in and to complete
the Joint Degree Program. The applicant must
also indicate which degree program will be undertaken
first. Where the applicant intends to register
in the MBA program first, the offer of admission
to law school will normally be deferred. Such
a deferral would be for one year only. Where
an applicant is accepted to law school after
July 15, the applicant may be required to register
in the LLB program first.
- A student who has successfully completed the
first year of the MBA program may be accepted
for admission to the LLB program. A student
who is registered in or has completed the first
year of the MBA program may apply for admission
to the LLB program. If the student is accepted
for admission to the LLB program, the student
must advise the Program Supervisor of his or
her intention to complete the Joint Degree Program.
- A student who has successfully completed any
year of the LLB program may be accepted for
admission to the MBA program. Upon acceptance
the student must advise the Program Supervisor
of his or her intention to complete the Joint
Degree Program. Students who have completed
their second or third year of the LLB program
prior to admission to the Joint Degree Program
may be required to take additional courses to
meet the MBA degree requirements.
