Legal Studies Program
COURSES
Legal Studies does not offer its own courses, but helps
students bring together courses from across the college so as to provide a
meaningful interdisciplinary engagement with the concept and role of law in
society. Many courses for the program are offered on a regular basis by the
core faculty. Additional courses are selected for credit toward the
concentration based on the review of the co-directors. A list of courses
approved for the coming semester is available through them at the time of
registration. Courses marked below with an asterisk (*) require the prior
approval of a co-director of the concentration in order to count toward the
concentration. Individuals with further questions may contact the
co-directors.
