Law and Society Minor

Summary of Requirements

• Two Full Law and Society Minor Core Courses
• Three Additional Full Law and Society Minor Core and/or Law-Related Courses

Transfer of Credit Toward the Minor

The law and society program will accept up to the equivalent of two full courses of transfer credit to count toward the law and society minor requirements. Two types of approval are needed. (1) Approval from the Office of the Registrar that the transfer course meets Oberlin’s transfer-of-credit eligibility standards and (2) approval from the department/program chair that the course(s) may count to the minor. Current students taking post-matriculation credit must secure this approval before registering for course(s). Students who enter Oberlin as transfer students will have their pre-matriculation credit evaluated by the Office of the Registrar for elective credit, and they can later seek approval from the department/program for applying coursework to minor requirements.
