Pre-Law Curriculum

Economics is a great major for students interested in Law School because economic principles provide the foundation for much of our legal system. The Economics Department offers a series of courses to provide the abstract and applied skills required by those seeking legal careers.

Students who participate in the Pre-law Curriculum are encouraged to take the following courses:

  • ECP 4451 Law and Economics
  • ECP 3413 Economics of Regulation and Antitrust
  • ECP 4505 Economics of Crime.

Additional courses of interest are:

  • ECO 4504 Public Finance
  • ECP 3530 Economics of Health
  • ECP 3302 Environmental Economics
  • ECP 3203 Labor Economics
  • ECP 3201 Economics of Women and Work.

The Economics Pre-law Curriculum fits easily within the Economics major or minor but is open to other students.
