法律专业

法律研究是一门跨学科的专业，主要研究法律思想, 法律制度, and the legal process and the relationship between that process and larger social and political forces. The major is a pre-professional program focused on allowing students to better appreciate the implications of the law for individual rights and liberties, 社会中不同群体之间的关系, and the functioning of our political system and to discover if they want to pursue a legal career. 学习计划包括政治学课程, 社会学, 人类学, 哲学, 还有其他科目. Courses are designed to help students develop their ability to think clearly and to analyze arguments critically.
