Go to the Interdisciplinary Studies Department

This course of study is designed to introduce students to the interdisciplinary nature of law and the legal profession. This minor favors no specific major field, but draws on courses with the substantive content and study skills which are recommended by the American Bar Association as especially desirable for prospective law students. A foundational interdisciplinary Legal Studies course is augmented by elective courses selected from across the university to meet the specific educational goals and interests of each student. Up to three (3) credits from a student’s major may be used to satisfy the minor.
