Students are also encouraged to take courses which develop critical thinking as well as courses which teach them to communicate both orally and in writing. Courses in accounting, economics, English, history, philosophy, political science, psychology, and sociology contribute liberally toward this preparation. It is anticipated that students entering Weber who contemplate a law degree will be able to obtain an adequate three-year pre-law program. Most students may find it advisable to obtain a baccalaureate degree before entering law school. International Relations ClubThis club, although academically supported by the Department, is open to all students of Weber State College. Its special purpose is to increase interest in and develop a better understanding of international affairs. 227 |
