Pre-law & Public Policy Minor

For students interested in law or public policy, this minor allows students to concentrate in legal and policy oriented courses. Not only is the minor helpful for students interested in law school, it can also benefit students wanting to know more about public policy (laws, regulations and ordinances).

This minor can add another dimension for engineers (particularly civil, mechanical, and green engineering) so they are familiar with governmental systems and public policymaking.

For business and science majors, this minor is valuable for understanding governmental processes. Students are able to take courses in logic, ethics, philosophy of law, legal theory, constitutional law, public policy, judicial process and national government.

Accelerated 3-Year Programs

Exceptionally advanced students may achieve a B.A., B.E. or B.S. at Stevens and a J.D. at New York Law School in six years through our Accelerated Pre- Law Program. After completing three years at Stevens while maintaining a 3.0 GPA, Stevens awards the bachelor degree upon completion of your first year of law school. After your third year at New York Law School you then receive your law degree.  If you want to apply for the Accelerated Pre-Law Program, the Admissions Committee at Stevens considers all high school seniors who fulfill the regular admissions requirements and have demonstrated academic excellence.

Stevens Institute of Technology has also entered into an agreement with Seton Hall University School of Law (Seton Hall Law) to establish a combined degree program allowing qualified students to earn both baccalaureate and law degrees in a six or seven-year sequence, depending on the selected course of undergraduate study.  Beginning in September 2012, the program will consist of three or four years of undergraduate study at Stevens and three years of study at Seton Hall Law. Upon completion of the program, students will earn a B.E., B.S. or B.A. degree from Stevens and a J.D. degree from Seton Hall Law.
