Learn from Practicing Judges and Attorneys
Are you interested in the legal system or eager to pursue a legislative, justice, legal research, or law career? Similar to a pre-law major, the Politics & Law program will provide you with the background necessary to succeed in law school or a career in the legal field. Your classes will focus on legal analysis and thought, the role of law in society, critical thinking, and rhetorical skill. You also will take legal classes taught by practicing judges and attorneys, who help you find real-world experience and give you a taste of your future career in law.
Evaluating Your Curriculum
Through political science and legal studies courses, Politics & Law majors broaden and deepen their understanding of the legal structure and their potential roles within this structure.
Our core law classes will help you explore a variety of legal areas, such as international and business law, and our Constitutional Law courses will fully prepare you for graduate studies in law. Elective courses allow you to tailor your degree to your interests and expand your repertoire of skills.
Politics & Law graduates are able to apply core legal concepts, theories, and histories to legal cases and current events within multiple disciplinary subfields. They are able to engage in profession-relevant discussions critically, effectively, and skillfully through writing and conversation. Graduates are also able to articulate a deep understanding of the law in light of God’s laws and how they plan to use their gifts to glorify God through their career in law.
