business law major?

<p>hi
i'm a newly admitted international undergraduate student and planning on attending u of miami as a business law major
however, going to business school was not my first intention, i was forced by my parents to choose to study business. personally. i prefer social sciences
so now i chose the major that seems the most social science-like in the business school calls 'business law'</p>

<p>the questions are-
what exactly does business law majors study?
i did not get a lot of information from the school website.... and the major thing is that i suck at accounting (i almost failed the course in high school)</p>

<p>also, according to businessweek, u of miami's business law major ranks #5 in the nation
however, i don't see a lot of schools provide that major in business school
how accurate is the ranking?

<p>thank you :)</p>

<p>Business law is, quite simply, the study of the legal ramifications behind business transactions and practices. </p>

<p>Take a look at this.</p>

<p>At least for BC, we do not have a business law concentration though we do offer business law electives. The rankings might be a bit biased toward business programs that actually do have a business law program. Corporate law professionals go to law school, so having a major / concentration like business law is not very marketable career-wise.</p>

<p>Economics is probably the ideal course, as far as wanting to blend business and social science goes. Although I’m not sure if UMiami offers Business Economics course.</p>

<p>is it possible for me to attend graduate school for either public administration or business?
isn’t that ‘business law’ relate more to business, since it was put under the business school?</p>

<p>for economics, i’m not quite sure will i survive those calculus classes… i prefer reading and writing papers instead of doing graphs and calculations</p>

<p>i know of a tax attorney that makes 16,000$ a month. and that’s just the base of her income.</p>
