Minors

THE LAW AND SOCIETY MINOR: The minor consists of a minimum of eighteen credit hours including:

1. LW 200. Introduction to Law, Justice and Citizenship
   
   
2. Twelve additional credit hours from the courses listed below as part of the Law and Society Program. These courses must come from at least three different disciplines. At least one course must be at the 300 level. No more than one course in the minor may also count toward the student's major.
   
   
3. A capstone experience, usually taken in the student's senior year, which may be either an internship or, in special cases, an independent study: The internship (LW399) must involve a substantive work experience as well as a significant academic component. An independent study may be substituted for the internship as a capstone experience. The independent study may be either in Law and Society or within a specific department participating in the law and society minor. Designed by the student in consultation with a faculty advisor participating in the program, the independent study will consist of intensive research from an interdisciplinary perspective on an aspect of law and society. Students must obtain prior permission from the director of the program for either an independent study or an internship to count toward the minor.
