The MHA/JD program provides training in law and health management and policy. Graduates are highly sought after by law firms specializing in health law and by health services organizations and government agencies. 

The first year of this joint degree program is spent entirely in the School of Law—which U.S. News & World Report typically ranks first or second in the nation. The following three years blend the required MHA courses with courses in the School of Law.
