LAW AND SOCIETY MINOR
This minor is designed to prepare students for careers in advocacy, legal research, paralegal studies, and for those who wish to pursue graduate school in law. The Law and Society minor builds valuable critical thinking and analytical skills through the examination of legal systems, exploring philosophical, political, sociological, historical, and ethical approaches to legal issues. With a multidisciplinary approach that draws deeply on the liberal arts and social sciences, a law and society minor focuses on the law, legal institutions, and legal issues affecting society.
Criminal Justice/Criminology and Criminal Justice students must choose electives not required for their major.
