The minor is designed to help students understand the law and legal processes from a variety of different disciplinary perspectives. Participating disciplines include anthropology, political science, linguistics, philosophy, communication, criminal justice, public administration, business, and sociology. With a liberal arts rather than a pre-professional focus, the program grounds students in the ways in which legal thinking and legal institutions regulate behavior and attempt to deliver justice.
Students with concentrations in Political Science are allowed to count at most six credits of courses in the concentration toward this minor.
