Minor Requirements

The Minor in Law Program is designed for non-law students who want to get legal knowledge and specialize in law.
To apply for minor, students must have a minimum of GPA 2.7 or higher in their major.
Students must earn a total of 30 credits to get the Law Minor Certificate. Students must earn a minimum grade of “B-” for the “Introduction to Law” or “Philosophy of Law” courses and pass the examination towards the minor at the end of the senior year.
The latest deadline to apply for the Minor is the fall semester of the student’s senior year. The request (the application letter in free form) should be approved by the Major and Minor (Law) Department heads.
