The
Pre-Law Program provides a range of academic
experiences that law schools have indicated are
desirable. It consists of a major in one of the
seven departments listed below, plus a total of
twenty-one semester hours selected from the
remaining departments.
For example, if the student selects History as
his/her major field he/she then chooses, with the
help of his/her advisor, a total of twenty-one hours
from the six other departments, excluding History.
Each department offers three courses in the Pre-Law
Program, and at least one course must be selected
from each field. The remaining three hours are
chosen from any of these six departments.
An advantage of this program is that, whether or not
the student is accepted at a law school, he/she has
completed a major in a discipline.
