Students may pursue the Pre-Law minor from nearly any major, but must build an outstanding academic record and demonstrate a sincerity of purpose to be admitted to law school. To be successful in law school, students should also develop core skills, such as analytical and problem solving, critical reading, writing, oral communication and listening, general research, and task organization and management, as well as the values of serving faithfully the interests of others while promoting justice. The Pre-Law minor provides a framework for students to develop these skills and values. Students must achieve a 3.00 grade point average in the Pre-Law minor courses.

Students interested in attending law school should contact one of the Pre-Law advisors as early as possible in their undergraduate studies. Students are also strongly encouraged to complete a commercially available Law School Admission Test (LSAT) preparation course prior to taking the LSAT. Information about the LSAT is available on the Law School Admission Council’s Web site ().
