The Department of Sociology and Anthropology sponsors an interdisciplinary program emphasizing the study of the relationship between law and society.
Area Studies Application
The Law and Society Area Studies Certificate is an opportunity for students interested in law school, public administration, counseling or law enforcement-related careers to emphasize the study of the relationship between law and society from an interdisciplinary perspective. Students must complete at least 24 credits from the courses listed below. The courses must be chosen from at least three different disciplines; no more than 12 credits may be chosen from a single discipline; and at least 15 of the 24 credits must be at the 3000 level or above. A student must maintain a 3.0 grade point average for the 24 credits. The Law and Society Area Studies Certificate is pursued in conjunction with a major, as it is not itself a degree program. Courses taken for the Law and Societies Area Studies requirements may also count toward fulfilling requirements for a major and general education requirements. A student’s final transcript will reflect the Law and Society Area Studies Certificate upon completion of the requirements for a degree.
