Law Studies Option Requirements

Requirements for the Law Studies Option

Students may emphasize the study of law within the major by completing the requirements listed below. These are in addition to all of the requirements for the standard Political Science major. As noted in the chart, some courses will satisfy both a requirement for the Law Studies Option and for the Political Science major.

Students are advised to consult with their political science advisor to understand the requirements for the major AND with their Letters & Science advisor to understand UWM’s general education requirements, and the College of Letters & Science breadth and other degree requirements. Degree requirements will vary depending on when you took your first college class. Read more about the major requirements here, and the degree requirements on the L&S Degree Requirements web pages.
