UCD vs. UCI: For a Career in Law

Colleges & Universities University of California - Davis

<p>I know there’s numerous UCD versus UCI threads already… But I have one regarding future law students… UCD would probably have more internships right? But then UCI has “Criminology, Law and Society” as a major which would probably more geared for a career in law… And I probably would be more interested in that than Political Science (which is what I plan on majoring in if I go to Davis) So what is more important? The internship or the major?</p>

<p>Both can open doors for you collegebound2006. A major can develop areas of interest futher. An internship will give you hands on experience, and you can try more than one area to see what you really like.
IMHO:
Have you looked at the Sociology major at Davis? Here is a link:
