Our pre-law group consists of of faculty, staff, and students from several programs including:
- Political Science
- History
- Psychology
- Sociology
- Management
- Career Services
- Criminal Justice
Our group's goal is to prepare students interested in going on to law school. We do this through one-on-one advising, relevant course enrollment and planning, preparation for the Law School Admissions Tests (LSATs), the law school application process, and the expectations of rigorous law school programs.
Political Science; History; Public Policy; Criminal Justice; Sociology. These are among the most common majors of students seeking entry to law school. But law schools also look for candidates with a diversity of academic experiences. Some supplementary fields include Philosophy, Biological Sciences, Management, English, Sciences, Humanities, and beyond. Our campus offers courses related to
- the American legal and judicial systems
- constitutional law
- business law
- civil liberties
- political process
- public policy
- accounting
- forensic and legal psychology
and other aspects of the field of law.
