Pre-Law
Description
The Pre-Law Program provides an excellent foundation for students who plan to attend law school.
Upon admission, each student works with an advisor, who helps the student develop a strategy for selecting courses, identifying an appropriate departmental major (degree program), and navigating the law school application process.
During the second or third semester of study, each student selects a major field of study, and a faculty advisor is assigned to develop a plan to meet degree requirements for that major. Special emphasis is placed on selecting coursework that focuses on developing the core skills and values recommended by the American Bar Association.
The University offers a variety of activities and organizations that enable students to participate in volunteer activities, internships, and community service. Other opportunities include the University's Honors Program and study abroad programs—which range from summer programs to a single semester or a full academic year in over 56 countries.
