You can earn your bachelor’s degree in business, MBA, and law degree all within a seven-year period. Creighton University is one of the few universities in the country offering this combined business-law program.
Qualified students who want to earn three degrees (BSBA, JD and MBA) in just seven years can do it by following the 3/3 program described below and enrolling in the MBA program in the fifth year.
The 3/3 program allows you to earn an undergraduate business degree (BSBA) and a law degree (JD) in six years, rather than the usual seven. You’ll become a candidate for the undergraduate Bachelor of Science in Business Administration degree following your first year of law school. In the fifth year, you can also choose to enroll in the Master of Business Administration program.

In the 3/3 program, you will take core curriculum courses and business courses for your first 3 years. Then, your “senior” year will be your first year of law studies, which counts as the field of concentration courses for your BSBA degree.
See a sample plan of study for the 3/3 program.
For the triple degree (BSBA, JD, MBA) program, you’ll begin by following the plan above. In the seventh year, you’ll start the MBA program.
