I want to pursue my MBA and Law (JD) degrees in Texas. Which place would be best for me?

Question

Texas Tech, SMU, Baylor, UT-Austin, Houston, and St. Mary's-San Antonio have both MBA and JD degrees. Texas Wesleyan has a JD program. Rice, Texas A&M, UT-Arlington, UT-Dallas, UT-San Antonio, and North Texas, to name a few, all have MBA programs.

My top pick is UT-Austin and St. Mary's; UT, because of the prestige of the school and the funky, weird, yet friendly environment of Austin, and St. Mary's because of it's small size and location in San Antonio. I also like Fort Worth (where TWU is) and Galveston (close to UH and Rice,) and I think Houston and Dallas would be interesting. (Of course, I was mostly raised in a small town in Kentucky, but I have lived in cities before, so it wouldn't be such a huge culture shock.) Baylor, as well as Waco, do not appeal to me; Baylor strikes me as being self-important and more arrogant than the other schools, and Waco isn't the best town in the world.

If you are from Texas (live there now or have ever lived there,) chime in! Thanks!

By Houston and Dallas, I mean the cities, even though there is UH (with both MBA and JD programs) and the University of Dallas (with an MBA program.) Lubbock, I've heard, is a neat town too, even though it's way out in the Texas prairie.

Answer 1

Of all the schools you mentioned, a degree from UT-Austin will carry the most weight around the country, especially on the JD side of things. In addition, Austin is a great place to live, and is full of great companies that can hire people right out of school. That would be my pick.

Answer 2

Ut Jd Mba

Answer 3

pre-regulation isn't in all threat needed. what's needed is having a superb GPA. (3.7 or above), surprisingly in case you desire to do Harvard regulation, Penn Wharton MBA, or yet another good point application.

Answer 4

The best college in Texas to get your MBA in Law would DEFINATELY be Texas A&M
