Law and Policy minor
Department of Law
As an Interdisciplinary Liberal Arts Minor
The Department of Law at the Zicklin School of Business and the Weissman School of Arts and Sciences offer a joint interdisciplinary program in law and policy that satisfies Baruch College’s liberal arts minor requirement. The Law and Policy Minor is suitable for both liberal arts and business students who have an interest in developing a critical, multidisciplinary understanding of the U.S. legal system. This program focuses on analyzing the legal system from various liberal arts and jurisprudential perspectives and thus draws heavily on philosophical, historical, sociological, and political insights about law and individual rights.
Requirements for the Minor
To satisfy the liberal arts minor in Law and Policy, students must first take two of the 3000-level elective courses listed below and then take one of the interdisciplinary 4000-level capstone courses offered by the Department of Law.
Students are expected to complete the minor requirements in place at the time they are officially accepted into their programs. Please review the College Bulletin for the relevant academic year.
