    Is there anyone who can advise on a distance learning program that offers a combined LLM / MBA?

    While the DL MBA is a dime a dozen, the DL LLM is rare as hen's teeth. While not exactly a "combined program," William Howard Taft University www.taft.edu does offer both the MBA and the LLM, which are NA through DETC. However, if you're thinking about an ABA LLM offered in a combined program with an AACSB MBA, I'd be hard-pressed to think of any.

    Hoping not to derail the thread, but I have always wondered, is an LLM of any use without a JD? Would it enhance your job prospects, or at the very least, give you *some* knowledge of the legal system? I like the degree myself, but I'm not sure how "useful" it is.

    I don't think you can get an LLM without a JD. Hence, I believe you cannot take the bar exam with an LLM. Am I wrong?

    I know of two people who have done an LL.M without a Law degree as their school considered it to be "Doctorate" equivalent for job status.

    Could you do an LL.M in Tax law if you were a tax accountant, yeah! There are many cross related fields...

    I presume that these two people are not residing in the US.

    No, but one has tenure at an RA/AACSB school
