Legal Studies
This minor is designed for students who may pursue careers in government, politics or history, or who may seek admission to law school. The foundational courses in history, political science and paralegal studies provide students with an understanding of the societal processes through which our political life is shaped. Students gain valuable skills in oral and written communication which prepare them for leadership in the public arena. The minor provides the potential for employment while in law school. While no undergraduate program is required for, or guarantees admittance to, law school, courses in legal research, critical thinking and reasoning give graduates with this minor a strong foundation for further study of the law.
