How do CSU Global’s law-related courses balance historical legal principles with contemporary practices?

At CSU Global, our law-related courses are designed to provide a well-rounded understanding of both historical legal precedents and current industry practices. The study of law necessitates a deep dive into essential case precedents, codified statutory laws, and seminal legal cases, which often extend beyond the typical five-year resource guideline used in other CSU Global programs. This careful integration ensures that students grasp the historical context and legal foundations critical to understanding how and why our legal system functions today.

Typically, CSU Global courses and programs have current resources no older than five years old. However, the study of law necessitates examination and understanding of essential case precedent, codified statutory law, and seminal legal cases, which are often much older than five years. It is critical to study the legal past in order to understand why and how our legal system functions in today’s environment.

What jobs can you do with a bachelor’s in legal studies?

Graduates of CSU Global’s B.S. in legal studies are well-equipped to pursue careers in law, public service, or compliance roles. Common paths include paralegal, compliance officer, legal assistant, and preparation for law school or graduate studies. Salaries in these fields vary, with professionals often earning above industry averages.
