That helps understand the situation better. There are lots of joint JD/MBA programs to consider, but virtually no JD/MS programs. The undergrad degree does not have to be in business to go on for a JD or MBA so that isn’t as much of a concern. If you are considering doing something more specialized than business at the undergrad, it is worth a close look. The technical disciplines are often great compliments to JD or MBA education because it helps you understand a particular industry better than a business only degree holder. For example, if you have a BS degree in engineering, then adding a JD/MBA gives you much better access to jobs at large and small engineering firms (of course from a business or legal perspective). Similarly, a chemistry BS with a JD/MBA opens up options in intellectual property positions.

The better defined the career outcome is, the easier it is to determine the skills and education needed to achieve it.
