As a Law, Rights, and Power minor, you will be introduced to the institutions and processes that create, interpret, and implement laws. Classes will help you interrogate the political motivations and influences behind the passing and implementation of laws, and illuminate how laws can be a double-edged sword.
A minor allows you to make interdisciplinary connections and expand your academic studies beyond your major. With a minor in law, rights, and power, you can set yourself apart as a candidate in a variety of professions, particularly in the legal profession, administrative agencies, and nonprofits with a focus on law.
