BA Law and Politics International Students

In developed countries like the United States, law and politics are closely intertwined. At the same time, the globalization of national economies worldwide means that lawyers from common law jurisdictions like the United States and civil law jurisdictions (like most developing countries) often find themselves working side by side in business transactions, where sharp differences in legal cultures can lead to misunderstandings and miscommunication. The law and politics major at Southern New Hampshire University offers international students an opportunity to explore these issues by providing insight into what it means to think like a lawyer, both in the United States and around the world, as well as with a solid undergraduate foundation in the art and science of politics as practiced in the United States, abroad, and internationally.
