Matriculation Fall 2007 and Later —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.
