IT Concentration: Pre-Law
For those entering the program Fall 2003 semester & beyond
Contacts:
David Hess (Values and Public Policy Track)
Mike Kalsher (Psychology Track)
Description:
The Pre-Law concentration with the Values and Public Policy track will earn you a dual degree with Science, Technology, and Society. STS has an established sequence of pre-law, ethics, and public policy courses that will place you in a great position for an advanced degree in law, public administration, or public policy.
Pre-law students from IT who pursue this track will be especially well positioned for a law degree in patent, Internet, and intellectual property law. Students who have pursued the STS pre-law track have been accepted at many of the nation’s top law schools.
The Pre-Law concentration with the Psychology track focuses on the interplay between psychology and logic and the legal system.
A student can choose either the Values and Public Policy Track or the Psychology Track. Each semester lists courses 1 through 8 in which the student must select the appropriate course from the chosen track. Courses cannot be intermixed between the two tracks.
