Students in the Legal Studies program will learn about government structures, sources of law, legal research and writing, civil procedure and litigation, and legal ethics.
As a transfer degree, the Legal Studies program is a starting point for a student interested in the law. It is designed to be a transfer program; however, students may be able to transfer into a variety of different disciplines, including: paralegal, legal studies, law in liberal arts, and other bachelor’s programs. If you are interested in the law, then Legal Studies is the right starting point for you!
