Become a business-minded lawyer with a joint degree in accounting and law

The Kelley MS in Accounting with Data and Analytics and Law Joint Degree balances business and legal education. You’ll earn an MSADA and a JD in three to four years, making it a smart investment in your future. Many MSADA/JD graduates take the CPA and bar exams, and often enter tax careers with accounting firms.

The MSADA/JD joint degree requires 18 credits of graduate business courses at the Kelley School and 79 credits at the IU Maurer School of Law. Students must be admitted to each program separately, and will be awarded both degrees at the same time.

Not sure which program is for you? Use the chart below to consider points of difference. To learn more about the programs, visit the IU Maurer School of Law’s JD/MBA Joint Degree program website, or email us.
