The program has the acquiescence of the American Bar Association and is accredited by the AACSB International -- The Association to Advance Collegiate Schools of Business.
Law-Business Synergy

The curriculum satisfies the specialized, advanced education needs of both professions, including the 30-credit, post- baccalaureate requirement that accounting graduates need to sit for the Uniform CPA Examination.
Geared to Working Professionals
To meet the busy schedules of working lawyers and accountants, classes are offered on weekday evenings. Students generally take one or two classes per semester and can complete either degree part time in two to three academic years. Regular attendance and active class participation are essential to success in the program.
