The major is not intended only for those considering graduate work in law, though the uptick in Bentley graduates attending law school will generate one group of interested students. The major’s central purpose is to provide an avenue for students to enter the workplace with a strong strategic understanding of how law interacts with business and society. It aims to prepare students to converse effectively with both business professionals and attorneys, a valuable skill that creates opportunities to serve as a liaison by speaking in languages that both groups understand. Students may choose a general Business Law Major for maximum flexibility in their course choices or focus their study in one of five areas: Business Perspectives , Financial Services , Health Care , New Ventures , or Social Justice . The major requires eight courses in total, including four required fundamental Law courses. The remaining four courses are partially dictated by a student’s choice of concentration, though each of these includes several student-driven course choices. This major is designed also to be a double major as either the primary or the secondary major. Among the many appropriate pairings are: Finance, Accounting, and Marketing.
