There are few business decisions of any consequence that are without legal risks. Business must operate within domestic and international legal frameworks. Therefore, knowledge of business law is a vital, inherent part of business. The study of law also develops students’ critical thinking, analytical, and negotiation skills—all of which are essential to being a successful businessperson. In addition to offering a law minor that includes cutting-edge courses in e-commerce, computer, regulatory, and international law, the department also supervises real estate offerings.
| To satisfy the Business Law minor, students may take any three Business Law courses at the 3000 level. There is no capstone course requirement. Unlike the interdisciplinary Law & Policy Tier III concentration, the Zicklin Business Law minor does not satisfy Baruch College’s “Tier III” liberal arts requirement. | ||
