Law Minor

This Law minor is intended for all undergraduate students considering a legal career or to complement their chosen career by adding to their knowledge about the legal environment and its issues. It is recommended for students pursuing studies in business, liberal arts, or the health sciences who wish to complement their major concentrations with a minor concentration in law.  Through the study of law, students develop critical thinking and communication skills, and an awareness of ethical considerations that are important for success in the study of law, the legal profession, and otherwise. The courses offered in this minor help students to develop rigorous critical thinking and advanced communication skills, while undertaking a course of study in many substantive areas of law. Admission to law school generally requires a high grade point average, as well as satisfactory performance on the Law School Admission Test (LSAT). While law schools usually do not prescribe any one particular undergraduate course of study for admission, students should obtain information on the specific admission requirements for the schools that they plan to attend. Legal Studies faculty members are available to advise students considering a legal career.
