Pre-Law

Students interested in law at Albion College major in academic disciplines of their choice, as is usually the case in strong liberal arts colleges. Traditionally, these students have majored in political science or history, but nearly any major is possible without prejudicing possible admission to law school. The American Bar Association and the American Association of Law Schools emphasize the acquisition and development of analytic and problem-solving skills, critical reading abilities, and a high level of competence at written communication. A solid liberal arts education will help to provide such skills. Albion College students consistently translate their liberal arts education into admission to a wide range of top-ranked law schools and successful professional careers in the law.
