Students seeking a pre-law minor as a preparation for law school or for general interest must complete a minimum of 18 credit hours, 12 of which must be upper division courses, and all of which must be completed in at least two of the ten departments that participate in the minor (Communication, Criminal Justice, Economics, English, History, Philosophy, Political Science, Psychology, Sociology, and Women and Ethnic Studies). Special Topic or other courses offered in the departments that are not listed here and that might qualify for the minor require the consent of the minor Director, Dr. Jennifer Kling (Philosophy, Director of the Center for Legal Studies). LSAT preparation courses are routinely offered through the college’s Extended Studies program.
The Center for Legal Studies at UCCS is a resource for students in the Pre-Law minor. For further inquiries, please contact the Center Director, Dr. Jennifer Kling.
