The Department of Jurisprudence seeks to prepare students to work as lawyers and other legal professionals, civil servants, and others who contribute to private-sector companies and regional society.
The Department offers three courses so that students can efficiently take the specialized courses they'll need as they pursue their future goals after mastering the basics necessary for studying jurisprudence and political science. (Students choose a course during their second year.)
In the General Law course, students who are interested in earning a legal qualification, continuing their studies on the graduate level, for example at law school, or working in the private sector undertake a comprehensive study of the fundamentals of law in areas such as constitutional law, civil law, and criminal law.
In the Law and Public Affairs course, students with career goals such as becoming civil servants, public servants, or diplomats focus their study on public law courses about topics such as constitutional law, administrative law, and international law.
In the General Policy course, students who are interested in working as a civil servant, policy staff member, member of the media, social welfare group employee, or NPO staff member focus their study on courses about politics, policy, and social welfare.
