Upon completion of the Honors Law and Public Policy track or area of emphasis as part of the University Honors minor, students will have explored the theory and application of legal and policy studies.

Choosing an honors curriculum with an emphasis in Honors Law and Public Policy means choosing courses and experiences that are measurably broader, deeper or more complex than traditional college-level learning.

Honors Law and Public Policy students:

• Identify differing rationales and methods associated with developing laws and public policies;
• Explore the impact of the political and social environment upon the development, interpretation and application of both public policy and law; and
• Apply basic knowledge of law and public policy to research or other work environments.

Faculty are welcome to submit courses to the Cohen Honors College faculty council to be considered for inclusion in the track. Faculty may use the Seminar Course Proposal form to make a preliminary inquiry and get feedback on a course idea or contact honors@wichita.edu for more information.
