Law

In an increasingly regulated and litigious society, businesses need an understanding of laws impacting them to ensure legal compliance and minimize litigation risk. Equally importantly, an awareness of business laws provides a basis for strategic decisions that provide competitive advantages and maximize shareholder value, without compromising corporate social responsibility. Today's students are tomorrow's business managers and owners. Knowledge of business law and the basics of legal strategy provide a strong foundation for our students' future success in the business world.

Business Law Major

Business Law Major

The Business Law Major plays a pivotal role in shaping the dynamics of the corporate world. The major reflects Bentley's legacy of innovation and leadership, addressing a longstanding challenge of bridging the gap between business and legal professionals. More than just a precursor to law school, this major is designed to empower students with a strategic grasp of how law intersects with business and society. It equips them to engage effectively in conversations with both business professionals and attorneys, fostering a unique ability to serve as a bridge between these distinct realms. 

Students can tailor their focus within the major, choosing between a general Business Law path for flexibility or delving into specific concentrations such as health care, financial services, social justice, business perspective, or new ventures.
