Program Benefits

• While the ABA does not require any particular course or course of study in preparation for law school, the courses in the pre-law minor provide students with substantive legal knowledge and will hone the skills that are critical for law school admission and success. 
• Our rigorous, yet flexible, pre-law minor establishes intent/interest in a legal career and demonstrates academic ability in rigorous coursework. In addition to the study of the American legal system, courses in the minor emphasize reading comprehension, critical thinking, and writing proficiency.
• Ë¿¹ÏÊÓƵ provides several pathways for enhancing students’ law school application portfolios, including internship and study-abroad programs, a first-rate athletics program, student governance and leadership opportunities, an honors program, and a range of student organizations.
• Students may join our pre-law student association and become actively involved in our annual mock trial simulation, and nonpartisan voter education and registration as part of our Constitution Day activities.
• Students receive support from our experienced history and political science faculty who identify and observe student strengths, provide individualized guidance, and can write meaningful letters of recommendation upon graduation and application to law school.
