Juris Doctor (JD) Program Information

Program Overview

For students in dual degree programs, students must be separately admitted to both degree programs in order to pursue a dual degree, the qualitative requirements of both degrees must be fully met, and the two degrees must be earned simultaneously. Students must begin coursework in the second degree program prior to beginning the fifth semester of law school work. Also, no coursework completed prior to official matriculation in the law school may be counted towards the law school degree.

Admission

Students must apply separately to the Mandel School and School of Law admission into each program. Admission to one program is not a guarantee that the student will gain admission to the other, and application to both programs should be made simultaneously. A joint committee of the two programs will meet and review the joint degree applications. 

Program Requirements

Being part of a world-class research university means you can combine your nonprofit management education with a Juris Doctor (JD) from Case Western Reserve University’s School of Law. The MNO/JD program is 109 credit hours (JD 88 credit hours and MNO 39 credit hours, with 18 credit hours that double-count) and can be completed in four years. You must apply separately to and be admitted to each of the programs. Alumni with MNO/JD degrees are employed worldwide by leading organizations, including the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation and the National Center for Transgender Equality.
