Eligibility Criteria
The admissions procedure for the integrated program consists of two stages. At the first stage, students applying to the program must meet the admission requirements of both Faculties. Therefore separate applications must be mitted to the Faculty of Law and the College of Graduate Studies and Research for admission to the regular degree programs in Law and Business Administration. To facilitate academic and career planning, it is strongly suggested that these applications be made simultaneously. Students who are accepted to both the M.B.A. and LL.B. programs, and have indicated a desire to follow the integrated program, will proceed to attend first year in either Faculty. Such students will be granted a deferred admission to the other Faculty in the program contingent upon acceptance to the integrated program after the first year of study.
While attending first year, the student must apply to the Committee of Directors for admission to the M.B.A./ LL.B. program. The intensity of the program demands a committed and highly motivated student, and accordingly, certain minimum academic requirements have been established. Students applying to the program at this stage must achieve standing in the top one third of the first-year class in the school in which they have enrolled and must meet the grade standards set out below. Students who do not meet this requirement will not be considered for the integrated program, but are free to complete their studies in the Faculty attended, or to re-apply for admission to the second Faculty for the regular course of study.
The Committee of Directors will interview all eligible applicants and selection of candidates will be made on the basis of the following criteria:
The applicant’s career plan and its appropriateness to the program;
An assessment of the applicant’s ability to complete a rigorous course of study successfully;
All relevant elements of the applicant’s profile compared with those of all other candidates.
Successful candidates will receive an acceptance to the integrated program ject to the condition that to remain in the program he or she must complete the second year of the program with a standing in the top one third of the class and meet the grade standard.
