Notes:

  • The minor in Law is not an ABA-approved program option. The minor is not intended to prepare students to work as paralegals and does not do so.

  • Law minors cannot apply to the Paralegal Certificate program.

  • Paralegals may not provide legal services directly to the public, except as permitted by law.

Residency Requirement Policy: In the College of Arts and Sciences, a two-course (8 credit) residency requirement must be satisfied for completion of a minor and a four-course (16 credit) residency requirement must be satisfied for the completion of a major.

Minor Programs Policy: A student declaring a minor may use no more than two courses from a major or double major combination to fulfill the requirements for the minor. No more than one course from one minor may count toward the fulfillment of a second minor. Students may not minor in a subject in which they are also completing a major. For more information, see the Minor Programs section of the CAS Degree Requirements page.
