Current Miami Law Real Property Development LLM students should submit an application for admission to the JD program during the Fall semester of their LLM studies and no later than November 1. It is recommended that students discuss their intention to apply to the JD program with their LLM program director early on in their LLM studies to make sure their course selection enables them to complete all graduation requirements effectively. Please refer to the JD application overview for further information.

A separate admissions committee will review their application and determine eligibility to enter the JD program. The admissions committee takes into consideration the nature of, and grade point average in, classes taken by the applicant while enrolled in the LLM program. 

In this unique program students can obtain three degrees in four years – a J.D., an M.B.A. and an LL.M. Students are essentially able to complete both the LL.M. and J.D. degrees in seven semesters and can complete an M.B.A. degree with only an additional two semesters or fewer, if summer school courses are taken.

• Once J.D students begin their 2L year of law school, they can apply to the LL.M. program in Real Property Development after having completed specific prerequisites.
• Early in the 2L year, students should apply to the Accelerated MBA program to be considered for any financial aid/scholarship options available at the School of Business.
• Lear more about the Accelerated M.B.A. program at the Miami Business School.
