Electives give you access to specific areas such as business, immigration and health law, while the new undergraduate law clinic and extensive internship opportunities give you real-world experience working on legal matters that will round out your education and boost your resume.
With the BA in Law, you will graduate well-equipped for employment in areas where legal training is an advantage, or to pursue further legal education.
