Undergraduate Students

Undergraduate students at the University of Minnesota have the opportunity to take courses at the Law School in order to gain exposure to the study of law and see its impact on virtually every major field of study. Many students begin with dedicated undergraduate law courses taught by award-winning faculty, then expand into additional classes alongside J.D. students or pursue the Business Law minor offered in partnership with Minnesota Carlson.

Undergraduate students consistently rate Law School courses among the most enriching in their academic career. These courses provide a strong introduction to the law school experience, including the types of tools that lawyers use to analyze issues and advocate persuasively. Some students go on to pursue their J.D. degree at Minnesota Law after graduation. Regardless of career goals, these courses offer valuable insight into the role of law and its relevance in the public and private spheres.
