How useful are these when looking for a job? Ill prob be combining it with Finance and a language in my arts component

Not very useful if you don't combine with Business Law with accounting (most people do business law majors for the CA/CPA prerequisites)

My sister did Acct/Biz Law and she said it helped alot when she did the CA program.

Unless you're thinking of doing accounting as highlighted above, there's probably not too much of an advantage from doing a business law major. Also, if you're passionate about business law, why not just get a LLB?

 

[seremify007]

IIRC isn't Biz Law only offered as a comajor?

 

[phrred]

ye it is only offered as a co major

so its basically a useless co-major except for some background law knowledge

 

[SSaint]

^not entirely useless, some subjects are necessary for CA/CPA accreditation

 

[phrred]

but id combine it with finance not accounting

 

[SSaint]

yeah, so for you, largely useless - you still gonna do it?

accounting and corporate law and tax law is insanely similar

despite what com(finance)/law people say, law is relatively less useful for finance.

like what phrred said, of course if you have space in your degree, why not get a bit of basic law knowledge under your belt so you know what they mean by "an act" or "injunction" or "civil proceedings" when they talk about it on the news or something

The most useful co major you can do (assuming that you'll be doing Finance) is Accounting. That's the best major to choose with finance if its job prospects your after

None. They just call it "applied" to sound more relevant, more "hands on" - which it isn't.
