Business Law Option

The fields of law and business are very complimentary and provide excellent career opportunities.

The Business-Law option is typically a six-year combined program that allows you to obtain a Bachelor of Business Administration (BBA) and Juris Doctor (JD) or Bachelor of Laws (LLB) degree in less time than if the two programs were taken separately.

Hill students who have selected the Business-Law option will seek admission to an approved law school and will enter that law school following successful completion of three years in the Hill BBA program. With the right selection of courses in these three years, students can receive credit from their first year of law school to complete their BBA. Students will then complete the remaining requirements of their law degree and ideally obtain the JD or LLB.

Our students have been admitted to a number of different law schools, and thereafter, successfully completed the combined program. Some of these schools have included:

  • University of Alberta
  • University of Saskatchewan
  • University of Victoria
  • University of Western Ontario
Students interested in this option should consult an academic advisor after admission to the Hill School of Business to assist them in planning their program appropriately.

"The business law option offered through the Paul J. Hill School of Business allowed me to pursue my interests in business while working toward both a Bachelor or Business Administration Degree and Law Degree in a shorter time period than if I had done them separately. Through the combined program, I was able to engage in a variety of classes that led me to excel in my studies in law school and well into my law career. I truly believe the business law option offered through the Hill School set me up for success in my law career.”
