Davis Joins with Hastings for Joint JD/MBA
The UC Davis Graduate School of Management has joined with San Francisco-based University of California Hastings Colleges of the Law to offer a new joint JD/MBA program.

The degree program will be offered starting in the 2015-2016 academic year.
The program is aimed for participants in either program whose career paths are on the intersection between law and business. Hastings professor Morris Ratner, said that the program is perfect for “students interested in starting or joining ventures in which they will be called upon both to give legal advice and to make business decisions.”
