The Law, Justice, and Society (LJS) Program offers an interdisciplinary study of law that incorporates several disciplines in the social sciences, including Criminal Justice, History, Philosophy, Political Science, Psychology and Sociology.  The LJS program is particularly interdisciplinary as the faculty hold graduate degrees in the fields of Education, Law, Political Science, and Psychology.  The major allows students (with faculty guidance) to customize it to suit their particular needs and interests.  Faculty employ an array of active learning techniques to further enhance the student experience. such as debates, presentations, mock trials, and simulations.

The LJS Program examines the interrelatedness of law, society, and politics with an overarching concern for justice. The program’s objectives are fully consistent with the skills and knowledge that the American Bar Foundation has recommended for success in law school and provides a strong foundation for students whether you are headed to law school, graduate school in the social sciences, or a career in advocacy, business, communication, criminal justice, education, government, human relations, journalism, law, law enforcement, nonprofit and/or international organizations, politics, public administration, social service, and other public service.
