At UCF’s Department of Legal Studies, we believe the law is for everyone. Law touches every part of our lives: business, government and community. Whether on campus or fully online, you’ll learn how the legal system works, how it shapes our world, and how you can use it to make a meaningful impact.
We offer a pre-law pathway to law school and graduate study, while also preparing students for law-related careers. Our curriculum connects classroom learning to real-world legal practice. You'll learn from faculty who are graduates of ABA-approved law schools and accomplished professionals, including Emmy Award-winning documentarians, retired Air Force judges, prosecutors and defense attorneys, and professional mediators. Along the way, they'll provide personalized pre-law advising, career guidance and mentoring.
Located in downtown Orlando, steps from the Orange County Courthouse, our state-of-the-art courtroom lets you practice like a pro — an opportunity few undergraduates ever get. As one of the largest undergraduate legal studies programs in the country, UCF offers unmatched opportunities to work alongside local lawyers, judges, and firms through internships, competition teams, and research — including topics like the role of artificial intelligence in the legal system.
Whether you’re preparing to be an attorney or pursuing a law-related career, you’ll gain the legal knowledge and practical skills sought by employers, law schools, government agencies and nonprofit organizations.
