Course Entitled "Legal Environment of Business" Classification

I am filling out AMCAS Coursework, and I took a class (in the business department) entitled "Legal Environment of Business."

Here's the course description: Emphasis on understanding the nature of law through examining a few areas of general interest, such as the duty to avoid harming others (torts), the duty to keep promises (contracts), and government regulation of business.

According to the AMCAS 2020 guide, business includes accounting, finance, human resource studies, management, marketing, and organizational studies. Government, political science, and law includes criminology and criminal justice, government, international relations and studies, law/legal studies, political science, public affairs and policy, and urban policy and planning.

This business law class is taught by my university's business school and is a part of business degree curriculum, but I am leaning toward classifying it as GOVT because it aligns best with law/legal studies as opposed to any of the specialties under BUS. I wanted to hear y'all's thoughts first though.

Sorry for the super specific question, and thanks in advance!

Follow-up question. Would an EMT course fall under Health Sciences? Or Other?

My business law courses had the prefix "ACCT" for the accounting department, so I put them under the business category.

Hello, incoming MS1 here I was a business major and took a class with the exact same name. I classified it as Business on my application.

Did you happen to take business statistics, and if so, did you classify it as math or business? I've taken two statistics classes in the business school(titled "Business Analytics I & II").

Sorry to hijack the thread.

I did take it. I got a B in it and I didn’t want it to mess up my sGPA so I classified it as a business course and amcas took it as such.

Same here, it'll drop my dGPA a little but I otherwise haven't taken any other statistics class.
