Program Overview

LEGAL STUDIES

Since the founding of our country, lawyers have helped shape nearly every facet of life in the United States. Through court cases and other legal methods, lawyers can impact everything — from business and commerce to personal liberties and criminal justice, to the environment and society as a whole.

A major in Legal Studies puts you on the track for success in law school and careers in the legal field.

As a Legal Studies major, you’ll develop and refine key transferrable skills in pre-law, such as critical thinking, detailed reading and written and oral communication. This interdisciplinary program will teach you how to do legal research and writing and build a strong foundation of knowledge about topics in public and private law. You’ll also get valuable hands-on experience by completing a three-credit, 150-hour internship in a legal setting.

The U.S. Department of Labor predicts that employment of lawyers is projected to grow 8 percent over the next 10 years, faster than the average for all occupations. According to the Bureau of Labor Statistics, the median salary for lawyers in 2022 was $127,990. In Wisconsin, the projected growth over the same period is 8.4 percent and the median salary is $147,530.
