Bachelor of Business Administration - BBA in Law and Economics Central Michigan University

Program Description

You can't develop a business strategy without considering laws, regulations, and the economic impacts of decisions. Our law and economics program combines economic theory and business law, preparing you for the decisions you'll be faced with as a business manager. As a law and economics major at CMU, you’ll learn to think critically about complicated situations and gauge how others are likely to react. This unique program is one of just a handful in the United States and the only one in Michigan. Through it, you'll learn to navigate the regulatory environment, predict economic forces and learn to build a business strategy while keeping legal and economic impacts of decisions in mind. As a student in our College of Business Administration, you'll build a solid foundation in accounting, marketing and other basic concepts. Beyond that, you'll take classes in economic theory that will contribute to your analytical and decision making skills. And courses in business law will introduce you to contracts, property rights and the regulatory environment. (A variation of this program is also offered outside of the College of Business Administration. Students in that program take fewer required business courses, and have more room to take elective classes.) Graduates of our law and economics program are problem-solvers and solution-finders. You'll become a better writer and thinker—skills that will serve you well not just in business, but also in law, public service or countless other careers.
