Legal Management
Message from the Director

Welcome to our program's web site! I hope you will take a few minutes to browse our site and learn more about our program:  BS Management, major in Legal Management.  It gives me great pleasure to welcome you to this site and have the opportunity to showcase our program.

This program is designed to create managers with a working knowledge of the legal environment within which all enterprises must operate. On top of the regular business curriculum is added a law curriculum which covers the major components of law that are encountered in business, such as obligations and contracts, partnership and corporation, taxation, labor laws, and laws on intellectual property.  This course CAN BE, but is not designed as a preparation for law school.

Like the BS Management program, Legal Management program is also devoted to developing the next generation of high growth entrepreneurs by giving students the theoretical and practical tools, global perspective, networking opportunities and hands-on experience necessary to maximize their chances for success.  We envision our students to venture in their own business to be able to create jobs and wealth for their employees, investors and themselves.

Most of the major courses involve teamwork because this is the way the real world operates.  The ability to manifest leadership and control in a team-oriented environment is a necessity for success as a manager.  Students are trained to do business plans supported by extensive market research.

Thank you for the opportunity to share information with you about our program. Please feel free to contact me at my email address below. I look forward to meeting you.
