I was offered a free JD/MBA from the U. of Indiana. What are your thoughts on a 3 year program? I know that the program requires that the student attend classes over a summer which in turn would hurt internship opportunities. I am unsure as to whether it would be wise to get the JD with the MBA or if I should look into other options.

Thanks

Dear workmyassoff,

It depends on what your career goals are. If you know you want to ultimately get both a JD and an MBA, then it makes more sense to get them together on a shorter timeline (especially at that price!). If you are not sure you want to get one of these degrees, then it might not be a wise choice. In essence, your career path should utilize both degrees for you to advance. If a JD is not necessary, then why go through the extra year of school and some really tough courses?

Good luck,
Lisa

"Target Test Prep is the closest to the official version of the GMAT exam, about 99% accuracy in terms of the quality and quantity of information. The course has excellently created singular sets of focused lessons and tests for every possible topic that one could come across in the official GMAT exam."

"The TTP course maximizes the efficiency of the time you spend studying. It will take time and effort but I could almost guarantee that if you complete the course exactly as it is laid out you will get an amazing score. They also have a very responsive team willing to help with any questions you might have."

"TTP has two things that I think no other test prep company offers: A teaching approach that reinforces understanding and an attitude that will give you the mental preparedness needed to succeed on the test. TTP gives you a deep understanding of the concept you need to know while teaching you how to think."
