The Legal Studies program provides an undergraduate major in liberal arts grounded in the humanist tradition of law. The primary focus of the program is the study of law in its relations to politics, society and history. Moreover, the major encourages students to examine political influences, historical patterns, economic relations and the moral, philosophical and ethical foundations, and implications of law. Legal Studies is in an academic partnership with Criminal Justice, a 60-credit concentration. Criminal Justice offers a social science perspective on the law which complements and supplements the humanist perspective of Legal Studies.
The impact of law and legal processes upon the global and American citizenry has increased markedly in recent years. Contributing factors in the development of law include the growth and complexity of government, expanded ideas of individual and group rights, increased access by the public to knowledge and increased exposure to the domain of law. Law also is often used to structure expectations and demands in the human, political, economic and social relations in general. If citizens are to maintain and advance democratic forms of political participation, they require better understanding of the role of law, its goals, methods, successes and failures, and dominant as well as alternative forms of dispute resolution and legal action.
Graduates of the Legal Studies major will learn about the philosophical, ethical, political, sociological, historical and practical dimensions of law, particularly within the American model but also somewhat in the global domain. Students will explore the dominant and alternative paradigms to dispute resolution that exist, including the adversarial assumption, mediation and other forms of conflict resolution. They will also have exposure to substantive areas of law, such as contracts, real property, personal injury litigation, family law, and gain an understanding of legal procedures in civil or criminal contexts. This program offers coursework in law-related topics involving diversity issues, multicultural concerns and international contexts. It also explores the governmental and organizational structures within which law operates.

Criminal Justice Concentration
(Comprehensive)
Understanding crime and justice is essential in a democratic society, and studying both is challenging. Crime involves coercion, freedom, fear and safety. A low incidence of crime enables society to work toward a higher quality of life. An explosion of crime tears at the fabric of a community. Crime is both a legal and a political concept. The very definition of crime is rooted in law; however, it is not limited to law. Some injuries to society become prohibitions in criminal statutes. Other harms, for various historical, political and cultural reasons, are not included within the penal code. Justice, itself, is an elusive philosophical term that has legal, political, economic, social and psychological underpinnings as well as implications. Ever present in our thinking is the desire for justice in individual cases as well as the pursuit of living in a just society.
The criminal justice curriculum is both broad and deep, enabling students to critically reflect on the complexity of “the problem” of crime as well as our paradoxical responses to it. Its study requires a multidisciplinary approach. Housed in a Legal Studies major, the concentration in Criminal Justice examines various ways of “knowing” the problem, especially through a rigorous, scientific lens. Completion of core courses in criminal justice permits students to become firmly grounded in a range of perspectives in the justice field. Selection of courses from legal studies provides a significant context for appreciating the fluid boundaries of the justice system. In addition to classes in criminal justice and legal studies, the curriculum consists of coursework in five areas: sociology/anthropology, psychology, philosophy, social work, and Spanish. Taking courses from at least three out of these five areas enable students to achieve a global view of the problem and its solution as well as to “drill down” into critical areas. Selection of elective courses encourages students to pursue flexible paths of study tailored to their individual interests in such careers as law enforcement, law and court processing, juvenile and adult corrections as well as graduate education. The result is the achievement of baccalaureate competency in the study of criminal justice.
No minor is required because the Criminal Justice Concentration is a comprehensive major.
Depending on course selection, the number of credits is either 59 or 60 credits.1 Thirteen credits of the total satisfy General Education credits. Excluding these 13 General Education credits, the curriculum in criminal justice consists of either 46 or 47 credits.

Elective coursework and career focus5
Choosing among the various elective courses may be challenging. These courses offer the opportunity to become familiar with a broad array of concepts, perspectives and methodologies. With a strong liberal arts emphasis, the Criminal Justice program encourages intellectual curiosity, critical thinking and extensive communication skills, characteristics associated with rewarding professional and personal lives. At the same time, a primary goal of the UW-Superior’s Criminal Justice program is the academic preparation of individuals planning criminal justice careers as well as the educational advancement of practitioners already enjoying criminal justice careers.
Graduates from UW-Superior’s Criminal Justice program distinguish themselves in many diverse professional fields, in graduate and law schools, and in the community. Alumni serve in positions of responsibility across the nation in federal, state and local criminal and juvenile justice agencies. Others have careers as private attorneys, paralegals, youth counselors, teachers, military officers, security/loss specialists and private investigators.
Students are free to take various elective courses as long as they have completed required prerequisites. Nevertheless, to assist in the selection, four course groupings are suggested for consideration. Each grouping is a possible path to a career. Review of course choices should be made in consultation with the student's advisor.6
Students interested in law enforcement, law and court processing, corrections, or graduate education should consider taking courses from one of the four foci.
