Minor in Law and Public Policy
The minor in law and public policy draws upon four fields of study: public policy and management, law, economics and political science. It provides students with an understanding of the political and economic contexts in which laws are made as well as how legal institutions shape policy formulation. Students learn to analyze the consequences of policy and alternatives; the roles played by government, business and nonprofit organizations in public decision-making; and the legal bases for various areas of public policy. See
Policy, Planning, and Development for requirements.
Minor in Law and Society
This interdisciplinary program focuses on the effect of law on society as well as the way in which social forces influence the legal system. The idea is that students will understand the law if they look beyond "law or books" to "law in action." See

This knowledge is augmented with law courses that identify the relationship between mental health, social psychology and law. See
