The Legal Studies minor contains courses providing instruction to improve the understanding of the operations of law, its function, capabilities, and limitations. The Finance and Law Department and the Economics Department offer an interdepartmental major in Law and Economics.

At least eighteen credit hours of finance coursework must be taken at CMU, and FIN 499, required in the Finance major, must be taken at CMU. The only course that may be taken credit/no credit is the Internship in Finance.
 
Why Study Finance? Why Study Law? 

The major problem underlying the study of Finance is the lack of enough money to meet all needs. Finance is the study of money management, the acquiring of funds (cash) and the directing of these funds to meet particular objectives. Finance, then, is the cornerstone of money decisions, whether in investing of client funds, business funds, or banking. Courses in law provide a foundation for law-related career objectives. Business Law and Regulation courses explore the basis for business regulation and the Legal Studies minor explores the principles of jurisprudence.
