Bachelor of Arts [B.A] [Law and Society] From University of California

The multidisciplinary approach introduces students to a wider range of views about law than is generally possible within a single department, provides a coherent and rigorous program of courses organized around the theme of law and law-like relationships, and allows students to develop critical thinking about law and social institutions. For students not planning to pursue graduate studies, this program offers a means of understanding some complex relationships between social institutions.

For those who plan to pursue graduate studies, the breadth of course work should provide a sound basis for graduate studies in areas related to law: history, philosophy, political science, and sociology, among others. And for students who choose to pursue the study of law in a professional school of law, the curriculum can offer a sound background. Students may select Law and Society as a major with the departments of Anthropology, Economics, History, Philosophy, Political Science, Psychology, and Sociology.
