BIS in Interdisciplinary: Law and Society

University of Cincinnati

Law is an integral part of all facets of our society. The Bachelor's in Interdisciplinary Studies: Law and Society major helps students meet the demand for leaders who have a solid understanding of law, the institutions where law is created, and how law intersects with our societies, cultures, economies, and politics. The degree program analyzes how law informs and is shaped by political, societal, and cultural processes. This program is hosted in the School of Public and International Affairs and in partnership with UC College of Law. While Political Science and Law are at the center of the program, expertise and specialization come from many other disciplines, including (but not limited to):Sociology, Environmental Studies, History, Women, Gender, and Sexuality Studies, Business, English, Journalism, Philosophy.This multidisciplinary approach allows you to customize your degree not only by selecting one of many pathways for degree completion but also through the consideration of a double major. This degree is a relevant pathway to Law school. Law and Society majors develop strong research and analytical skills by studying the dynamics of law in domestic and international contexts.
