FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
Alaska Pacific University and Seattle University launch new dual MBA – JD program
Open house scheduled for April 4 at 5:30 pm in Anchorage
Alaska remains the only state without a law school. Alaskans interested in pursuing a Juris Doctor (J.D.), the professional degree necessary to become a lawyer have had to leave the state to attend an American Bar Association-accredited law school.
A new dual degree program with Alaska Pacific University (APU) and Seattle University (Seattle U) changes that! The APU-Seattle U MBA/JD dual degree provides an accelerated path for both of those graduate degrees. In this program, MBA instruction is provided by APU and J.D. instruction is provided by Seattle U School of Law through flexible part-time hybrid-online delivery. While some travel to Seattle is required, candidates will not need to relocate.
Meet Seattle U Dean and Professor of Law Anthony E. Varona, Seattle U Assistant Dean for Administration and Chief of Staff Colin Watrin, APU Provost Hilton Hallock, and APU MBA Director Lincoln Garrick to learn about the MBA & law school applications, application timelines, what law school life requires and what the Admissions Committee looks for when evaluating a candidate’s application.
What: MBA-JD open house and Seattle U School of Law Alumni Mixer
When: April 4 from 5:30 p.m. – 6:30 p.m., Seattle U Alumni mixer from 6:30 p.m. – 7:30 p.m.
Where: Alaska Pacific University, Carr-Gottstein Academic Center, The Boardroom
