SCALE 2-Year Accelerated J.D. Applicants
Applicants applying to Southwestern's two-year J.D. program, SCALE, may be asked to participate in an interview as part of the admissions process. The interview helps the Admissions Committee identify candidates who are compatible with and likely to succeed in the program and allows applicants to learn more precisely what is expected of SCALE students over the course of the program. SCALE applicants must interview to be considered for admission, but please note that the law school initiates interview appointments for SCALE applicants. Students may not request an interview.
Online J.D. Applicants
Online J.D. applicants are encouraged to review these
lists of states/jurisdictions
to determine if the state in which you plan to reside during the program has approved our Online J.D. (a separate process than ABA accreditation, which all our programs have received). Approval is pending in a number of states/jurisdictions, while others will not be pursued for the Fall 2025 application cycle.
Dual-Degree J.D./M.B.A. Program Applicants
To apply for admission to the dual-degree programs offered in conjunction with
The Drucker School of Management
, applicants who are not currently enrolled at either Southwestern or Drucker should fill out the J.D./M.B.A. application provided on the LSAC website and submit the required materials for the J.D./M.B.A. program, which differ slightly from those for the J.D. program.
Applicants to the J.D./M.B.A. program must submit all required materials for the J.D. application, keeping in mind the following modifications and additions to the requirements:
The personal statement must address why the applicant seeks the concurrent degree.
Two letters of recommendation are required AND one of the letters must explicitly address the applicant's business experience and suitability for the J.D./M.B.A. program.
Applicants should be prepared to provide the following at Drucker's request:
An admissions interview with Drucker
The Drucker Admissions Office will initiate outreach to qualified applicants to arrange the interview.
Note: Offers of admission from The Drucker School are contingent upon successful completion (3.0 or higher GPA) of the applicant's first year at Southwestern. Dual-degree students whose GPAs fall below 3.0 after the first year may be subject to additional application requirements or revocation of their admission offer from The Drucker School.
For more information, please see the J.D./M.B.A. Program Policy on our
Institutional Policies page
for more details.
Priority Deadline for the Dual-Degree J.D./M.B.A. Program
The priority deadline for the dual-degree J.D./M.B.A. program is February 1st. Students who submit their applications by this date will receive priority consideration for financial aid.
