Minor in Pre-Law

19- 20 credit hours required. Open to all majors including Politics   majors.
 
  The minor provides students concentrated study in U.S. legal systems   and provides experience in law-related coursework. Students are able to   develop an understanding of the relationship of law and legal institutions   to the State and society.
 
  Students who are pre-law minors have the opportunity to develop a   fundamental understanding of the key analytical questions concerning legal processes and ideas in the United States.

All courses are 3 credits unless noted. Credits are divided as follows:
