Legal Studies Certificate

Undergraduate certificates may only be earned and will only be awarded in conjunction with a bachelor's degree. They will not be awarded as an independent credential.

Information about the Department of Accounting can be found on the department page.

This certificate offers a formalized learning pathway which will prepare students for the LSAT, law school, and the dense regulatory business world by allowing students to attain an interdisciplinary education that will set them on a path to success regardless of whether or not they ultimately pursue a career in law.
