Law Minor
A strong base understanding of law and the legal system is a valuable asset to any résumé. Tailor your classes to focus on the specific kind of law that applies to your chosen career and get ahead.
Why Minor in Law?
It’s never been more important for employees to be legal minded. The rules governing how we live and work are increasingly complicated, with new issues-and laws-coming up regularly in the advent of the digital age. Whether IT compliance, copyright infringement law or contracts, there’s much to learn about the law, and the broad-based legal foundation offered in the 18-credit Law minor is a great place to start.
This minor is available to all students. From Business and Criminal Justice to Social Work and Computer & Digital Forensics, this minor will give you the foundational knowledge in legal issues and authority that is not only highly marketable for your resume, but will prepare you for real-world situations with clients and individuals.
- Gain a legal toolkit that will provide added value to any employer and give you a distinct edge when you enter the job market.
- Begin with an introduction to law and move through criminal law followed by contracts, torts and family law.
- Take the opportunity to take a Law course of your choice from the entire offering of courses created for the Law major—assuming you’ve met any prerequisite courses needed to take your chosen class.
- Dive deeper into an area of the law that fits best with your interest and your major.
