Pre-Law Curriculum

There is no preferred major for admission to law school; however, popular majors have been History, Political Science, English, and Business. 

In order to be admitted to law school one must successfully complete the Law School Aptitude Test (LSAT).  Regardless of major, students who go on to law school need to have effective communication and critical thinking skills.  Moreover, students should have a basic understanding of our legal system and an appreciation for the values that support it.  

Whatever major may be pursued by the pre-law student, the following courses are highly recommended:

• PHIL 232 Critical Thinking (counts in the General Education Curriculum)
• POLS 230 Introduction to Law and Legal Education
• POLS 233 American National Government (counts in the General Education Curriculum)
