Law is the study of the rules and guidelines by which a society maintains order and cooperation. The study of law introduces students to constitutional, criminal, and civil law, legal research, writing and history. UNCG offers curriculum advising in pre-law that prepares students for applying to law schools. A law degree requires three years of study after a bachelor’s degree.
