To pursue a dual degree, students must be accepted by both colleges and satisfy the curriculum requirements for both programs. Acceptance into one program does not guarantee acceptance to the other. Each program accepts credits from the other, resulting in a lower number of courses you must complete. Dual-degree students are able to apply 12 of their M.B.A. credits towards satisfaction of their J.D. degree credit requirements, and 12 of their J.D. credits towards satisfaction of their M.B.A. degree credit requirements. Additionally, dual-degree students waive out of the 3-credit MBA 8030 Legal Environment: Ethics and Corporate Governance course. Together, dual-degree students earn their degrees having taken 27 fewer credits than would have been necessary if they were pursuing the degrees separately. Non-native speakers of English are required to demonstrate English proficiency. This requirement can be met in the following ways:
Test of English as a Foreign Language (TOEFL including the special home edition)
International Language Testing System (IELTS)
Documentation that the baccalaureate or a prior graduate degree was obtained in an English-speaking country
Completion of a University System of Georgia approved ESL program (case-by-case basis)
IELTS 6.0
TOEFL 60
TOEFL PBT 160
