The primary goals of the Department of Business Law are to contribute to legal knowledge through conducting scholarly research, to disseminate it by publication in leading journals and law reviews, and to transmit that knowledge to students, business, and professional communities.

These goals both inform and drive the Department’s educational objectives, which focus on:

• instilling in students a strong sense of the legal and ethical issues permeating business;

• aiding students’ comprehension of the legal and regulatory environment as well as the ethical considerations and substantive laws that shape business practices and policies

• developing students’ analytical and problem solving ability, as well as their oral and written presentation skills.

A student may pursue the Bachelor of Science in Business Administration (BSBA) with a specialization in Legal Studies. This course of study facilitates the interaction between legal counsel and the business manager, preparing graduates to excel in a wide variety of business pursuits.
