Molloy Program of Study Code: LGLMI

The Legal Studies minor provides students with a foundation in law and its practical application. Individuals seeking to work in the legal professions or as a paralegal*, those pursuing law school and students whose careers will interact with the law can all benefit from this course of study. Successful completion of the minor automatically earns the student a Molloy Paralegal Studies Certificate. Students can be job ready when they graduate with the minor and certificate.
