Overview

Legal Studies is a fairly new major at Susquehanna University. In fact, most of our peer schools do not offer it at all. The Susquehanna program was designed with interdisciplinarity as the focus so that you will be well prepared for a variety of careers.

Key Features

A highlight of the program is that you will gain real-world experience with a guaranteed, paid internship at the Arlin M. Adams Center for Law & Society. You could write briefs in the district attorney’s office, discuss legal options with judges and clerks in county court or become a court-appointed child advocate.
You will graduate with a strong background in the law, American government, politics, ethics, regulations and civil liberties. You will be a concise writer, critical thinker, problem solver and calm mediator, transferable skills that also will take you place in the world of business.
