The certificate brings together interdisciplinary viewpoints from anthropology, criminology, political science, sociology, and other departments across the social sciences and humanities. Thematic clusters of emphasis within the certificate may include:
There will also be a senior capstone course dedicated to a close examination of law in social life. In addition, we will provide research and internship opportunities for our students alongside of close faculty mentoring. Enrollment in the certificate program will be a competitive process that is modeled after what is required for entrance to law and graduate schools (high GPA record; letter of application; transcript submission; etc.). This process will build incentives for entering undergraduates to maintain a strong academic record so that they are competitive for admissions to some of the best law and graduate schools in the United States. The program will be appropriate for students who plan to pursue professions in law, rights advocacy, justice administration, public policy, government, nonprofit organizations, and academic research and teaching. To apply for the certificate program, complete and submit the application that is available online at http://www.ohio.edu/lawcenter/application_II_fall_2012.pdf (a 80 KB PDF file).
