The NJIT Minor in Legal Studies
Administered jointly by the NJIT History Faculty and the STS Program. Faculty Coordinator: Allison Perlman.
The Minor in Legal Studies is a 15-credit, multidisciplinary minor designed to provide students with an introduction to the study of law. Study in the program may serve to enhance undergraduate preparation for entry into law school or other law-related careers. Curriculum Students take 15 credits in law-related courses drawn from academic programs and departments across NJIT and Rutgers University, Newark. The courses should be selected from different categories, as shown below. The list below includes courses already approved for credit; other law-related courses may be applied toward the minor with the approval of the faculty coordinator, including Hist 401, 402: Independent Study in History and STS 302, 303: Independent Study in Science, Technology and Society. Note that by selecting courses wisely, NJIT students can fulfill 9 credits of GUR courses in Lit/Hist/Phil/STS, Open GUR, and the HSS Capstone seminar with courses that also count toward the Legal Studies Minor. Take one course from each category (12 credits) and another course from any category (3 credits) A. Law and Business/Engineering
