An Interdisciplinary Approach: Life as a Second Year/Third Year
Renowned for its intellectual rigor and high professional standards, Columbia Law School remains steadfastly committed to providing the best legal education in the country.
In the upperclass years, students are encouraged to explore and capitalize on the wealth of opportunities available to them.
Some examples include:
- Participation in a clinic in Human Rights Law or Environmental Law
- A course in African Law and Development or Corporate Finance
- A seminar in Civil Liberties and the Response to Terrorism or Critical Race Theory
- An externship at the United Nations
Students may further enrich their learning experience by taking classes at other schools within the institution, spending a semester abroad through our extensive collection of international programs, or obtaining a double degree at a foreign university.
