Business Law
Gain the comprehensive legal knowledge essential for success in today's complex business environment.
Build a Foundation in Business Law
Students pursuing the business law certificate will explore practical applications of legal principles, regulatory compliance, and ethical decision-making. These lessons are taught in both domestic and international contexts, preparing students for the complexities of global commerce.
While the certificate is a great option for business majors, the program is also an outstanding option for non-business majors, especially those in political science, economics, pre-law, public health, environmental studies, music, public policy, and criminal justice. The certificate welcomes students from all academic disciplines without prerequisites beyond class standing.

Accreditation Information
Our business programs are among the best. We are accredited by AACSB International, a mark of excellence achieved by less than 5% of all business schools worldwide.
We believe business law education should be forward-thinking. Specialized courses that explore topics in sustainability or international business law better prepare students for the real, complex issues facing today's business world.
At some institutions, a certificate in business law might be reserved only for business majors. At UWEC, this program is open to all students in good course standing, regardless of their chosen major. Within the College of Business, we see the value in students studying business law who may be pursuing other degrees.
