Business Administration

Legal Studies Track

Coordinator: Benjamin Neil
Stephens Hall 102, 410-704-2227

To complete the major in Business Administration with the Legal Studies Track, students must be admitted to the Business Administration major (see admission requirements in the Business Administration major section of this catalog) before taking 21 units in Legal Studies and 33 units in upper-level business core courses. All requirements for the major must be completed with a grade equivalent of 2.00 or higher. In order to assure that students have retained critical information from prior courses, students take a comprehensive examination on business content as part of the capstone course, MNGT 481. The results of this examination serve as 10% of the MNGT 481 grade. See the Suggested Course Sequence for Business Administration Majors.

The Bachelor of Science (B.S.) or Bachelor of Arts (B.A.) degree in Business Administration (BUAD) requires a minimum of 120 earned units, which must include successful completion of the General Education (GenEd) requirements, the Business Administration major requirements listed below and electives. See the complete Degree Requirements in the University Curriculum section in this catalog.

During the freshman and sophomore years, pre-business administration (PBUA) students must concentrate on building an academic foundation as a base for the in-depth, upper-level courses. This foundation includes both lower-level core courses and most of the General Education requirements. Students who enroll in CBE "majors only" courses without having fulfilled the prerequisites risk losing their place in those courses.

Students are responsible for monitoring their own progress toward graduation. Students should consult with their assigned advisers each term to ensure that prerequisite courses are taken in proper sequence to meet the student's target completion date for the degree. Prerequisites are monitored during registration.
