The undergraduate programs in Law are intended as legal employment credentials. The major prepares students to work as paralegals in a law office, corporate office, government agency, or other offices working with the law. Undergraduate Law classes & the required general education courses for the degree options are available both during the day & in the evening. Students may choose to attend during the day, the evening, or combine the two. This flexibility makes it easy for students to combine work and school. All students also have access to the world-class library at Suffolk University Law School.
Graduates have found work in small, medium, & large law firms, corporations, insurance companies, state & federal agencies, & a variety of other law-related placements. While the undergraduate Law program is not designed primarily to be a pre-law program, some of our graduates do choose to attend law school. Other graduates have pursued advanced degrees in other areas such as Communications or Criminal Justice. Want to join the major? Connect with Law Program Co-Directors Eric Bellone and Graham Kelder at ebllone@suffolk.edu and gkelder@suffolk.edu!
Please note that you cannot practice law or give legal advice with an undergraduate degree in law. Only licensed attorneys can perform these functions.
