How a San Francisco Internship Affirmed a Passion for Equity

Minor in Legal Studies
Gain a broad understanding of the U.S. legal system and international law. Explore the relationships between law and politics, law and society, and the law's role in achieving or impeding justice. In addition to classroom study, you examine the law in action: all students are placed in a law-related internship. For some students, the legal studies minor serves as preparation for law school; others find the minor useful for broad educational and alternative career pursuits.

I want to fight for change and equity within my community from a legal level. I’ll be attending law school and aspire to work in public interest and civil rights law, hopefully at a nonprofit."
