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.
Our forward-thinking curriculum blends real-world experience, guided by faculty who are graduates of American Bar Association-approved law schools and active practitioners — like Emmy-winning documentarians and retired Air Force judges.
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.
With a growing demand for skilled legal professionals, now is the perfect time to launch your journey. Explore UCF Legal Studies today.
