Fall 2006:
Regulatory Law Track Curriculum

Matriculation Fall 2006 — 89 credits required to graduate

The Regulatory Law Track is designed to prepare students for practice in and before the numerous agencies that regulate business and other activities. Approximately one-third of the 89 credits required for graduation must be in regulatory law courses. The remaining two-thirds of the course work of the track is outside regulatory law, thereby ensuring students substantial breadth in their professional training.
