| Program Type: |
Minor |
| Program Status: |
The University of Delaware's Legal Studies Minor is a
relatively new program, initiated in the 1991-1992 academic year. |
| Statement of Intellectual Structure: |
| "The law is fundamental to a great deal of philosophic, social
science, and public policy inquiry. Consequently, the university offers courses in a wide
variety of disciplines which are substantially concerned with legal studies. The Legal
Studies minor provides students with the broad conceptual framework of legal studies and
encourages them to explore the law from an interdisciplinary perspective. The Legal
Studies minor is designed for any undergraduate student who is interested in examining the
law and legal institutions from a wide variety of perspectives. Additionally, although
Legal Studies is not a 'Pre-Law' program and does not provide paralegal training, the LS
minor should be of interest to students who plan to obtain professional training in
law-related fields after graduation." |
