Majors
Law in Society majors study law from humanistic and practical perspectives. Students focus on critical thinking, writing and oral presentation skills, within the study of law. Our required internship places students in law office settings to see the practical side of law. Many Law in Society majors are continuing on to law school, work as paralegals, or enter other varied professions such as business, compliance, government, and public policy.
