The Legal Studies program provides a liberal arts undergraduate major focusing on the study of law as it relates to politics, society and history. It encourages students to examine political influences, historial patterns, economic relations and the moral, philosophical and ethical foundations and implications of law. Along with solid theory and practice, students examine substantive law, such as contracts, real property, personal injury litigation, family law and other topics, and gain an understanding of legal procedures in civil or criminal contexts. Coursework is offered in law-related topics involving diversity issues, multicultural concerns and international contexts.
Students also explore governmental and organizational structures within which law operates.
