BLAW Students Helpful Information

Pre-Law and Career Mentoring

Although the American Bar Association has advised that a pre-law undergraduate major is not necessary to attend law school, some students who major in Business Law may be interested in becoming lawyers. The decision to go to law school is often difficult. Preparing to apply for law school involves thoughtful and serious reflection. There are many factors that law school admissions committees will consider about your background and interests, your achievements, and your performance on the admissions exam and in your undergraduate studies.

All Business Law department faculty members are attorneys who can give advice to prospective law students. In addition, the following information, prepared by one of our faculty members, should prove helpful.

Why Business Law?

The Department of Business Law offers a course of study leading to a B.S. Degree in Business Administration with an option in Business Law. This program prepares students to analyze complex problems, think critically and communicate effectively while learning the legal principles pertinent to making business decisions.

Why Real Estate?

The option in Real Estate covers both theoretical and practical aspects of real estate and provides an academic foundation for careers in real estate. Students completing the option in Real Estate will have satisfied most of the educational requirements for the California real estate broker’s license and the real estate appraiser’s license.

Careers in Real Estate

While the Real Estate option is designed for students with career interests in the various functional fields of real estate-brokerage, appraisal, finance, investment, development and asset management, as well as service areas such as escrow and title insurance-the skills with which students in the option will become familiar are applicable in virtually all business fields.
