• Yale Law School faculty approved a pilot accelerated J.D./M.B.A. joint-degree program offered at the Law School and School of Management in late October, following nearly a year of program review.

The program allows students to graduate with a business degree and a law degree in six semesters, has no summer coursework requirement, and is among the shortest J.D./M.B.A. tracks in the nation.
