The dual degree (MBA/JD) program offered by 91ɫ's Schulich School of Business with Osgoode Hall Law School was recently named among the business and law programs in North America by FIND MBA, a leading management education website.
The Schulich/Osgoode program was ranked alongside other dual degree programs delivered by Harvard, Stanford, Wharton, Columbia and Chicago.
Established in 1972, the joint MBA/JD was the first degree program of its kind in Canada and one of the first in all of North America.
“The program equips students with a solid grounding in the fundamentals of both business and law,” says Schulich Dean Detlev Zwick. “Over the years, the MBA/JD has produced a large number of outstanding graduates who have excelled in a wide range of fields.”
Some of the program’s high-profile graduates include: Kathleen Taylor (MBA/JD ’84, Hon LLD ’14), Chair of the Royal Bank of Canada; Marianne Harris (MBA/JD ’83), former president of corporate and investment banking at Merrill Lynch and a member of the board of directors of Sun Life, Loblaw, President’s Choice Bank and Public Sector Pension Investment Board; Rob Wildeboer (MBA/JD ’85), co-founder and executive chairman of Martinrea International Inc.; and Terry Kawaja (MBA/JD ’89), former global head of media M&A at Citigroup and Credit Suisse First Boston and founder and CEO of LUMA Partners.
