Pre-Law Program
Students interested in attending law school are advised to secure a strong foundation in the liberal arts. Excellent writing, research, and critical thinking skills are essential competencies for gaining admission to law school and for completing the requirements of a rigorous law school curriculum. Such skills are also conducive to the practice of law. Pre-law students are encouraged to join the university’s Pre-Law Club and to meet periodically with the Pre-Law advisor to discuss course selection and the law school application process. Experience suggests that a respectable score on the Law School Admissions Test (LSAT), a strong academic performance over the course of four years, excellent letters of recommendation, and interesting extra-curricular activity often result in a student’s acceptance to law school.
