Neither degree may be awarded until all of the course work for both degrees has been completed. The MBA program is a cohort-based program and LL.M./MBA students will follow the prescribed schedule for all first-year MBA students, which includes a two-week global consulting project abroad at the end of the spring semester of MBA immersion study. In the second year, students will complete the MBA capstone course, KSB 613 Strategic Decision Making, which is only offered in the spring semester. 

After successfully completing one of the 5 LL.M. programs offered at º£½Ç»»ÆÞWCL, LL.M. candidates only need an additional 16 credits to earn a second LL.M.  This option is a valuable way to learn more about a second area of the law.
