PRE-LAW PHILOSOPHY MINOR (360004M)
A total of 18 credits
The Pre-Law Philosophy Minor prepares students interested in pursuing a career in law to hone their logic, reasoning, and analytic skills--skills required for the study of law. And, since law permeates every aspect of our lives, the interdisciplinary nature of this program allows designated courses from a variety of disciplines across campus to count as partial credit toward the minor.
