Minor in Legal Studies

Winter Weather Campus Update

Out of an abundance of caution, Kennesaw State University will move to modified operations on Tuesday, January 21. All in-person classes will convert to remote instruction protocols determined by each instructor. Students should refer to course syllabi or D2L for details on how learning will continue during Modified Operations. All online classes will continue as scheduled. All in-person activities are cancelled. Visit kennesaw.edu/emergency for more information.

With a Minor in Legal Studies at KSU, you will engage in coursework that covers the design and structures of the United States court system, trial and appellate legal process, and Constitutional law basics. In addition, you will get to choose to focus on legal studies in practices like negotiation, media law, legal research, criminal law, law and gender and more.

For more information on specific classes, see our Legal Studies Minor information in the KSU Undergraduate Catalog.
