Minor Spotlight-Legal Studies

If you’d like to learn more about the “law and its influence on society from a variety of perspectives” , the Legal Studies minor may be of interest to you. The minor consists of a minimum of 19 credits including core Legal Studies classes and seminars. The minor is also interdisciplinary and students are allowed to choose elective courses in addition to core classes from a variety of departments; including history, business, education, political science, and communication. The Department of Political Science and International Relations (who houses the minor) also provide pre-law advisement, lectures, conferences and other events for those students who are interested in further education and professional training in the field.

Student Spotlight-Natalie Hirn

Natalie, a junior from York, PA fell in love with UD’s campus and all of the activities that the university had to offer. The study abroad programs she learned about also inspired Natalie to attend UD, as it was important for her to pick a school that provided educational traveling experiences.

When Natalie was admitted to UD, she was set on studying to become a physician’s assistant or speech pathologist and began her undergraduate career as a cognitive science major. Within the first few weeks of her first year, Natalie quickly realized her major wasn’t a match and made a change to health behavior science. From there, after taking an introductory business class, she later decided that she would rather pursue business instead! In addition, Natalie had always been in love with fashion and the fashion industry, but was afraid to take the leap into such a competitive field. After taking an introductory Fashion class, she decided to follow her dream and complete a degree she was passionate about, rather than one she was struggling with. Now, Natalie is a marketing major with a fashion management minor.

Natalie feels that University Studies afforded her the flexibility to take a wide range of classes, which allowed her to discover what she liked and didn’t. As a result of meeting with her advisor and completing her own research, she found the programs that were right for her. Natalie also realized that although she changed her mind several times before solidifying her path, spending time exploring was worthwhile. Natalie hopes to pursue a career in the fashion business. She is considering working in public relations, as a buyer, or merchandiser in New Your City. The options are limitless! Currently, Natalie is also very involved with RSOs and Greek Life on campus.

Words of wisdom for current UST students: “In the end, your major does not always define your career path! Enjoy life as a college student and take classes that are intriguing, fun, and excite you about your future.”
