Accounting and law degree?


Question:
Hey i am currently a Junior (second Semester) student currently an accounting major and i am thinking of doing law . I had a few questions, To my understanding, i know that i can get into the JD/MBA program but for now during my undergraduate year, can i apply to the law school and get some pre requsite classes done. what other options do i have to get my law degree along with the accounting degree. Please help?

Answer:
There are no prerequisites to law school classes--only law classes. In the first year, they give everyone the same curriculum, more or less (like constiutional law, contracts, torts, criminal law, civil procedure). This usually gives you the basis for the classes you could choose to take as an upperclass student. I seriously doubt that a law school would accept credits from a non-law school, like an undergraduate institution, because the American Bar Association sets very strict guidelines as to what it takes to earn a JD.
The other option is to do them both part-time, I guess.
Good luck!
It seems unlikely. I'm a law student, and I'd say you probably have to get admitted to a program first. Once you know where your options are, then you can ask about this, but my guess is that law classes are pretty specific to law school and generally unavailable at the undergraduate level. I'm almost 100% positive of this, though if you do a joint-degree program some might transfer over. The bottom line is that you need to talk to the law school.
Yes.make sure you talk to your advisor or maybe a professor at your university that focuses on law. But I believe your main focus is to study for the LSAT exam. Good Luck
As far as I know you have to have a college degree with sufficient LSAT scores to be admitted to law school, but if you have a law school associated with your university you might be able to take law courses there for undergraduate credit.

Talk to your dean.

Once your graduate there are many programs that offer the joint MBA/JD program. I personally think that that is an excellent combination for anyone who wants a high ranking corporate position.
