The courses in the Pre-Law Concentration (possible with either a political science or philosophy major) will develop the intellectual skills and interests that are relevant for law school and will provide a liberal arts education of benefit to students throughout their lives.
Completing the courses in the Pre-Law Concentration does not guarantee admission to law school or a high score on the LSAT. Interested students should meet with a Pre-Law Advisor early in their educational careers to discuss strategies to prepare for law school.
Students in Pre-Law will have the opportunity to participate in extracurricular activities that will contribute to their preparation for law school and introduce them to some of the careers that lawyers pursue.
Students who complete the required courses earn a B.A. in Political Science or Philosophy with a Pre-Law Concentration. The students’ transcripts will show both the major and the concentration.
