Pre-Law

Students interested in Pre-law are advised in the Office of Pre-Law Advising.

Law is a part of all aspects of our lives from the environment to the music business, from athletics to the international arena, and from adoption to elder law. If you are interested in a career that requires precision in thinking, research and writing, and you want to be involved with people and their social, political, cultural and economic aspirations, you should consider being an attorney. In order to resolve conflict and promote orderly change, attorneys call upon many fields of learning. They need skill in analysis, breadth of vision and a commitment to justice, for law is a humanistic pursuit based on the purposes and principles of the civilization it serves.

With over 200 accredited law schools in America, it is very important to create a competitive application, a process that takes time and planning, including more than academics. Therefore, all students who are considering law school should consult with the Pre-Law advisor early in their undergraduate career or as soon as they identify an interest in law.
