Business Law - Undergraduate Minor

In a world that is increasingly subject to laws and regulations, every business needs employees who are savvy about the laws that affect business.  The Business Law minor is comprised of a series of courses designed to provide a strong background in a wide range of laws that business needs to be aware of, and provide students with the ability to recognize – and avoid – legal pitfalls.  Additionally, the Business Law minor will provide students with a clear understanding of how legal disputes are resolved and the ability to appreciate the cost and complexity of disputes, and enable students to reduce the costs and complexities by being able to communicate clearly with lawyers about the legal issues.
