Business Major Spotlight: Business and Law

Business & Law Major
Business & Law Major

The business and law majors prepares you to meet the high demand of employers who need professionals to develop business solutions from legal and interdisciplinary perspectives. Solve critical challenges and impact the future of business by knowing the best legal practices when making decisions.

Only offered by a handful of business schools, the new degree prepares business and law graduates for high-demand careers in growing fields such as regulatory compliance, financial services, securities regulation and corporate social responsibility. This major (or minor) pairs well with other majors, especially when you are considering attending law school.

The business and law major was designed to address a critical shortage of mid- and senior-level managers with strong business skills who also understand legal implications and regulatory constraints. The courses build familiarity with legal concepts for jobs that require some knowledge of the law, but not necessarily a juris doctor.

Richard Moberly, Dean of the College of Law shares, “Understanding how the law works and how lawyers think enables students, like Jack, to become business professionals who solve problems and minimize legal risk. Our business and law graduates will be able to solve critical challenges in Nebraska and beyond by understanding the fundamentals of law in the context of business.”
