Course Descriptions

HS 270F — Business Law

Meets for one-half semester and yields half-course credit.

Provides a general introduction to U.S. legal concepts and issues with which contemporary managers should be acquainted. Managers must not only be aware of the legal requirements related to their particular function, but must also be cognizant of the broader ramifications of legal matters on the enterprise as a whole. This course will provide students with an understanding of legal issues from both of these perspectives guiding them with regard to appropriate legal treatment in a variety of settings. Further, discussions of ethical dilemmas that potentially present challenges to managers dealing with business and legal issues within organizations will be explored and discussed. Usually offered every year.
