Available to all Undergraduate Students

Law is pervasive in all aspects of work and life. The minor in Business Law allows students from any academic discipline to learn the skill sets necessary to identify and manage legal issues encountered within personal and professional contexts, including insurance, employment, home ownership, and personal property. For students interested in a career in law, business, or government, the minor will provide a solid understanding of the complex legal issues that exist in today’s regulatory environment.

In order to declare and successfully complete the Business Law minor, students should take note of the following:

1. A minimum of 18 credits is required for the Business Law minor.
2. Students must maintain a minimum cumulative GPA of 2.0 in Business Law minor courses in order for the minor to be posted on the official transcript at the time of graduation.
3. At most, six credit hours within the Business Law minor may be counted towards both the major and the minor.
4. At least 12 credits (or four courses) of the courses required for the minor must be taken at Detroit Mercy unless the courses are taken as part of a consortium agreement.
5. BUS 3190 must be completed at Detroit Mercy.
6. No course for the Business Law minor can be taken on a pass/fail basis.
7. A minimum of nine credit hours must come from courses at the 3000- or 4000-levels.
8. Students in the College of Business Administration may not pursue both a concentration in Business Law and the Business Law minor.
9. Students completing the Business Law minor will also be required to submit a portfolio to the Business Law minor coordinator during their final semester. The portfolio must include one example of written coursework completed by the student from each of the four component areas. In order to document the student’s intellectual development during the course of the minor program, examples of written work must be submitted in chronological order. A student may only submit one example of written work per course. In addition, the student must submit a 500-word reflective essay addressing how the minor enhanced: (a) his or her understanding of the connection between business law and private life; and (b) his or her understanding of the connection between business law and major field of study. Students will also be asked to share their comments and reflections on the strengths and weaknesses of the minor, as well as offer suggestions for improving the minor.
