Legal Studies

Open to students from any major or concentration, the legal studies minor is intended to provide students with a basis for topics related to how law is used in business and knowledge on how to perform basic legal research. This knowledge will make graduates more attractive to employers in highly regulated fields such as finance, banking, human resources and political science as well as to provide an in-depth background for those in other areas of business.

If you are looking to maintain a competitive advantage in one of these fields, this minor is a great option.
