Pre-Law Minor
The minor in Pre-Law provides a coherent grouping of courses in the foundations and applications of the law. Specifically, the program is designed to acquaint students with:
-
Different approaches to the study of law, including philosophical, sociological, political, and historical.
-
The elements of legal reasoning.
-
A body of case law in substantive areas.
-
The skills necessary to succeed in a law school program including logic, research, writing, reading, and analytical thought.
The pre-law minor may appeal to students who major in non-law-related fields and plan to apply to law school. It exposes them to legal courses before pursuing their professional education. The minor in pre-law does not guarantee successful admission into law school nor is it a prerequisite for law school.
All pre-law students, regardless of major, are advised to consult with the University’s pre-law advisor.
