Legal Studies Minor

Students who minor in Legal Studies must have twelve credits unique to the minor, that are not shared with the major or any other minor. After that, double counting between the major and the minor is allowed. For example, a Political Science major could only take two of the political science courses in the legal studies minor. The rest of this student’s Legal Studies courses must come from disciplines other than political science.
