The Bachelor of Arts in Legal Studies at UC Berkeley's College of Letters and Science is an interdisciplinary, liberal arts major under the academic supervision of Berkeley Law. This program introduces undergraduates to a broad spectrum of legal ideas, institutions, and processes, emphasizing how law is shaped by political, economic, and cultural forces, as well as its impact on society. The curriculum covers philosophy of law, legal history, criminal justice, law and economics, and comparative/international law, providing critical tools for appraising law and policy. This major is not designed as direct pre-law or paralegal training but fosters analytical, critical thinking, and argumentation skills through engagement with jurisprudence, social policy, and justice. Graduates pursue roles in law, public policy, government, education, finance, and related fields. 来源： https://discovery.berkeley.edu/getting-started/major-maps/legal-studies
