Bachelor of Arts in Law And Public Affairs

Program Overview

The Law & Public Affairs major at Lasell is an interdisciplinary program that gives students the background to appraise and understand the American political and legal systems while examining how law permeates social, political, economic, and other institutions. Students discover how decisions are made by these institutions and how policy is created, and they develop skills in advocacy, research, problem-solving, writing, and critical thinking.

Students are prepared for careers in areas such policy and regulation, advocacy, non-profit agency work, government agency work, legal offices for municipalities, or government organizations. Students may also continue with graduate study in such fields as public administration, policy studies, management, political science, and law.

Program Features

  • Students are taught a global perspective on law and justice, comparing American legal issues and policies to those of other cultures.
  • In the Foundations of American Legal System (LS101) course, students participate in mock trials and compete against major college and universities in the Boston area.
  • Our Pre-Law advising program offers students guidance to students considering applying to law school. Students get insight about courses and extracurricular activities that will best prepare them for law school. The program also offers test preparation for the LSAT examination.
