The Business Law minor will give you critical insight into how law governs the rights and activities of companies.

The curriculum also provides hands-on opportunities to master leadership and critical thinking skills in mock trials and group projects. As a supplement to any other bachelor’s degree, the Business Law minor will bolster your credentials with challenging coursework in Business Law, Constitutional Law and Environmental Law.
