Purpose Statement

The law and society minor helps prepare students for further study of the law or legally-related fields.  This minor is useful to those students considering a pre-law program, but it also would be useful for those considering careers in public service, non-profit organizations, and social advocacy groups.  Students who complete this minor will gain additional knowledge about salient legal concepts and analytical methods to evaluate current public policies.  They will also gain insight into the American legal system as well as critical reading, writing, and analysis skills.  Students are required to take courses from a wide range of disciplines, including Politics and International Affairs, Criminal Justice, Business Law, Ethnic Studies, and more.  This interdisciplinary minor will enrich a student’s chosen major and will assist them in future careers in law enforcement, the legal system, public policy, and more.
