As long as you otherwise meet degree requirements, EC allows you to use a lot of random stuff to fill out your UL requirements. I forget the exact allotment, but it's something like 15 UL credits in your degree major + 6 UL credits from the capstone/cornerstone + 9 UL credits from (almost) anywhere else. This quirk makes it easier to get a BSLS at EC than it is to get a BALS because the Bachelor of Arts restricts the category of UL credits to only courses that fall under Liberal Arts. The Bachelor of Science allows students to choose things like Business or Applied Science for their UL credits. I think this extends to all Excelsior degrees.

Also, at least some LawShelf courses can count as law OR business courses, so could potentially apply to a business degree at EC.

For the BLS at EC, you need 21cr of UL in the Arts & Sciences (including capstone) and can do an additional 9cr in Free Electives (including the cornerstone).

Law courses would count as Free Electives, as would most Business courses. So you're limited in how many UL you'd be able to bring in for the UL requirement.
