The Pre-Law advising program offers preparation for students who are interested in pursuing entrance to law school upon completion of their undergraduate studies through a track of suggested courses and LSAT exam preparation. The program is intended to provide students with the skills necessary to analyze complicated texts, think critically, form clear and effective arguments, and become strong writers. While the advising program does not award a degree or certification, it allows students the flexibility to major in the academic programs that interest them most and provides a solid foundation in political science, statistics, economics, history, and philosophy. Each year, the Pre-Law advisor recommends courses appropriate for the interests and needs of each Pre-Law student. In addition to academic preparation, law schools also consider students' achievement on the LSAT, personal experiences, and extracurricular activities that indicate dedication, ambition, and high ethical standards.
