Undergraduate Minor in Legal Studies

The official requirements for a minor in legal studies are available online in the UCF Undergraduate Catalog.

The minor is open to all UCF students. A minimum GPA of 2.0 is required in all courses used to satisfy the minor and grades less than “C-” (1.75) are not accepted. Internship or independent study credit cannot be used toward the minor. No credit by exam (TSD, Military credit) may be used.

To earn a minor in legal studies, students select several legal studies courses, including Law and the Legal System, with the aid of a faculty advisor.

To declare a minor, a student must complete a Minor Declaration form, which can be obtained from the Department of Criminal Justice and Legal Studies. This form must be signed by the student’s advisor and the chair of the department. Students are strongly urged to officially declare a minor as early as possible but no later than the submission of their UCF Intent to Graduate Form (must be completed the semester before the student intends to graduate).
