The Law and Related Legal Studies program at New Paltz provides students interested in law with two ways to structure their courses in this field. Students may either (1) declare a major in Political Science, with a concentration in Law, or (2) students may declare a minor in Law and Politics, offered in the Department of Political Science and International Relations. The Law concentration within the Political Science major requires 12 credits of upper-division, law-related courses offered in the department. The Law and Politics minor is an 18 credit, interdisciplinary program, with lawrelated courses from such departments as Political Science, International Relations, Philosophy, Journalism, Business, Sociology and Black Studies. For further information on both of these programs, see the chair of the Department of Political Science and International Relations (JFT 806), the pre-law advisor (JFT 808), as well as program and course descriptions elsewhere in this catalog.
