Minor in Legal Studies

About the Minor

Understanding the legal environment in which businesses operate is critical to any business’s success.  The Minor in Legal Studies will allow students to pursue coursework that explores the legal and regulatory frameworks in which businesses function and expose students to various legal issues which could arise throughout their careers.  The coursework emphasizes critical thinking so that students learn not only the substance of the law, but the proper way to think through its application.
