Â鶹´«Ã½Ó³»­

Students in the humanities-prelaw program become part of a close-knit community where professors mentor them in a supportive, collaborative environment, providing advising and building lasting professional relationships. With small class sizes and hands-on learning, you'll have the opportunity to connect closely with both peers and professors.

As a technological university, Â鶹´«Ã½Ó³»­ provides a unique environment for the humanities that fosters interdisciplinary study and collaboration. Humanities students work alongside engineers, scientists and aviators, sharing state-of-the-art facilities, digital tools and research resources.

Learning in a science and technology-rich context can spark creativity and innovation, enabling you to approach traditional topics from novel angles. You’ll also have the opportunity to develop technical skills, such as data analysis and digital media creation, which can enhance your research and career.

Our faculty are experts in their fields and dedicated educators who welcome undergraduate students to participate in research studies and book projects, offering opportunities for building a portfolio of scholarly inquiry before graduation.

The humanities-prelaw degree culminates in a senior year capstone project, which results in a substantial written work.

This project involves original research on a topic of your choosing, working with a committee of faculty members who will guide you through the two-semester process. This experience and your final written work are excellent preparation for the rigors of law school—and a perfect highlight for your law school applications. 

Projects have included such topics as:

• The history of women in Florida's legal system
• A case study of the FBI and the Barker-Karpis Gang
• Historic perceptions of U.S./Mexican relations

We’re in the heart of the Space Coast—NASA-Kennedy Space Center on Cape Canaveral is just north of us—and in a high-tech corridor. You’ll benefit from Â鶹´«Ã½Ó³»­’s strong connections to leading technology companies and have plenty of opportunities to form valuable connections that lead to future career options.

When it’s time to relax, you’re just minutes from 72 miles of beautiful beaches and a short trip away from the Florida Keys or the Orlando theme parks.

But you won’t have to travel far for rest and relaxation:  We have a rich campus life that includes intramural and ,  and a variety of social activities.

Â鶹´«Ã½Ó³»­ students have the option to pursue international study opportunities, with Â鶹´«Ã½Ó³»­’s renowned Oxford Study Abroad program holding special appeal for humanities majors.

This program offers the unique experience of living and studying in Oxford, a historic hub of humanities scholarship for centuries. Imagine studying the American Revolutionary War from England’s perspective, reading J.R.R. Tolkien and C.S. Lewis within their old college walls or attending Shakespearean plays by the riverside.

Study abroad not only expands your world view, but also your résumé, demonstrating to employers and graduate schools your global perspective.

Humanities prelaw majors can undertake prelaw internships in local law offices through the local Brevard County Bar Association or in governmental agencies like the state attorney’s office.
