Electives: In addition to POS 3691 and one course in Constitutional law, concentrators must take 24 credits of elective courses with a substantial content in or bearing on law. Except by special petition, at least 12 credits of these must be 3000-level or above courses, and students are reminded that they need 45 credits of 3000 or 4000 level courses to graduate. Students choose from courses listed below. Other FAU courses may be used only with approval of the Concentration Advisor.
Up to 9 of the 24 credits may be from courses that provide background within a discipline that is needed to pursue advanced courses in that discipline that have a substantial content in law or serve as preparation for the honors thesis: for example, an honors introductory course in economics that is a prerequisite for taking an upper-division course in economics and law; or an introductory course in psychology that is a prerequisite for an upper division course on psychology and the law or that prepares the student to write a thesis on the insanity defense.
Courses used to satisfy the SBA or CIV requirements of the Honors Core can not be used towards this concentration. Except by special petition, no more than two non-Honors courses may be used to satisfy the requirements of the Concentration and they may be counted only when no equivalent course is offered at the Honors College. Courses not on this list may be counted with approval of the concentration advisory board.
All students concentrating in law and society are strongly encouraged to participate in an internship or study abroad program with a substantial content in law.
