The business law minor exposes students to substantive legal topics, theory and analysis and prepares them to deal with legal issues that arise in the workplace and to respond to ethical issues as they interact with the law. Students will apply basic legal theories to specific problems and situations in order to develop alternatives and provide solutions. Students will assess resources available for researching different aspects of law and develop appropriate research and analytical skills. They will also develop their competencies in professional writing and oral presentation. Students will develop the ability to recognize and apply their practical understanding of business law to both business and personal situations.
