Minor in Legal Studies

About the Program

A minor in Legal Studies serves as an introduction to the broad interdisciplinary approach to the study of law. Offering a grounding in the fundamental principles of American national government, this minor also includes a core group of courses designed to develop the critical thinking and analytical skills required for law school. You will study constitutional law sequence, media law, pre-trial prosecution, administrative law, and logic in philosophy. Beyond that, you are free to choose a wide variety of substantive law-based classes that speak to your specific legal interests (e.g., criminal law, business law), as well as build on the advocacy and writing skills of the practice.
