An interdepartmental major in social studies is offered by the department, along with an interdepartmental major in international studies. Prelaw students enroll in courses, work as legal interns, and participate in mock trial competition and other law related extra- curricular activities. All students planning to attend law school are encouraged to consult with the university prelaw advisers in the Political Science Department. While law schools do not require a political science major, students interested in legal careers frequently select a political science major with a prelaw emphasis. Internships in public administration and law are secured for qualified juniors and seniors.
Internships are available at the local, state, and national levels.
4 Students cannot use courses taught in the department of their first majors or first minors to meet Liberal Studies requirements.
