For Bachelor of Arts and Bachelor of Science

Studies in business law offer a perspective on a range of legal issues as well as the theories of law—including ethical aspects of the origins, content, and enforcement of laws. In this minor, students learn to identify and analyze legal problems, consult and apply legal resources, formulate legitimate and ethical responses and strategies, and communicate those results coherently.

This minor complements other disciplines—particularly political science, philosophy, sociology, psychology, economics, and the natural sciences—and prepares students for future professional activities (such as law) and for graduate studies. Outside the required courses for the minor, students can customize their legal studies to emphasize competencies that are relevant to their own interests.

Total credits required for minor - 18 senior-level credits.

A minimum of six credits must be completed at the 300 or 400-level.
