"We are honored that MSU's legal studies program earned the 8th ranking as the Best Legal Studies Bachelor's Degree program. This is the second top ten list our legal studies program has been named to during the past year," said Dr. Dianna Murphy, associate dean for the School of Humanities and Social Sciences.

"We have top attorney-professors who ensure students have the opportunity to learn in and outside of the classroom working in our legal clinics and internships, as well as traveling abroad in legal studies classes. Most years, 100% of program seniors are accepted to law school, with some receiving scholarship offers to top-tier law schools. Our graduates also are prepared to immediately enter the legal field as a paralegal where they find rewarding work in large and small law firms, as well as government agencies, and businesses. The success of our graduates demonstrates the success of our program."
