Overview of Tuition Rates and Fees
Students that are enrolled in dual degree programs at the University of Colorado Boulder campus must pay Law School tuition for all credits (). Students that are doing a dual degree with any other campus or institution, such as University of Colorado Denver or Ƶ School of Medicine, must pay two sets of tuition: 1) tuition to Colorado Law for credits taken at the law school; and 2) tuition to the other campus or institution for credits taken there.
Typically, students that are enrolled in dual degree programs need to pay the mandatory fees for both programs. The course and program fees will vary depending on the specific course of study ().
See below for details on a specific program’s tuition. Please note that you must be actively enrolled in the dual degree program (i.e., accepted by both schools) for the information below to apply. If you have questions, contact one of Colorado Law’s financial aid counselors.
University of Colorado Boulder (Ƶ Boulder)
To be eligible for the dual JD/MBA program, you must apply separately to and be admitted by both the University of Colorado Law School and Ƶ-Boulder’s Leeds School of Business (“Business School”). (Law School Rule 38(B).) We encourage students who intend to enroll in the JD/MBA program to take both the GMAT and LSAT before applying to either school, and to apply to both the JD Program and the MBA program prior to matriculating. A student admitted to both programs can choose whether to do the first year in the Law School or the Business School (not both). The first year involves full immersion in one program. Depending on your goals, either can be an appropriate choice.
Taking your first year at the Law School requires you to begin paying Law School tuition and fees. Starting at the Business School, however, enables you to pay MBA tuition and fees for the first year of the program. As soon as you begin taking Law School classes and for all semesters thereafter, you would pay Law School tuition and fees. We encourage you to check into these costs in advance of enrollment as they may vary and, accordingly, could influence your decision in terms of where you would like to start during your time at Ƶ-Boulder.
Current JD students can apply to the MBA program anytime, including during 1L year. Consult the MBA program website for more information and contact the Business School admissions staff with any questions.
