Are You Considering a Career in the Law? Consider a Political Science Major!

If you are planning on going to law school you can technically choose any (respectable) major you wish, as long as you do well. But, Political Science is the traditional path to law school.

We offer a Bachelor of Science degree with a Pre-Law concentration that will help prep your thinking and skills for the types of classes you can expect to take in law school.

This course, focusing on perhaps the bloodiest century in all of human history, is offered asynchronously online (only) by Dr. Nancy Spalding in Summer Session 1.

It includes various case studies of genocide in the twentieth century: How they came about, response and reaction by the international community, how we interpret what happened, and more.
