The Business/Law Option removes from the core the requirement for a fourth semester of college-level mathematics (01:640:250 or 252) and the second semester of the organic chemistry laboratory for majors, (01:160:31). Instead it substitutes three business/law related courses. One of them must be chosen from the following three courses:

  • 33:010:273 Introduction to Financial Accounting (3)
  • 01:355:302 Scientific and Technical Writing (3)
  • 01:830:373 Organizational and Personnel Psychology (3)

The remaining courses must be chosen in consultation with the Undergraduate Program Director and should be in the areas of accounting, communication, economics, finance, management, or marketing. These courses should be at the 200 level or above.

This option does not lead to certification by ACS.
