Business Law Coursework

The College of Law provides students with a wide range of classes to meet their interests and help build a strong foundation for a successful career. From first-year courses, such asĀ Contracts, to more specific upper-level offerings, our courses are built with careers in mind. Through the Chicago Program, students can also experience first-hand how law and business intersect in one of the largest legal markets in the country.

Beyond-the-Classroom Opportunities

Applying principles to practice helps our students put the knowledge from our courses into action. Whether that is through our award-winning Moot Court teams, student organizations like the Bankruptcy Law Society or Corporate and Business Law Association, or working on the Business Law Journal, opportunities abound for students to enrich their legal education.
