Business Law

The Business Law major provides graduates with the skills and knowledge base that are critical to successfully understanding the context, application and impact of law on the structures and transactions of business. After completing the foundation law subject, students are able to choose from a large range of specialist subjects. The Business Law major may be taken separately or in conjunction with any other major in the Commerce Schedule and complements other discipline studies, providing a legal framework perspective on the institutions and structures of those disciplines.
