Pre-Law Studies and Advising

Students who plan to pursue a law degree after graduation should contact the Academic Success Center. In addition to an academic major advisor, the student will be assigned a Pre-Law advisor who will help with course selection, researching law schools, the law school application process, and preparing for LSATs.

In general, to be a successful law school candidate, a student must achieve good grades in challenging courses, develop excellent writing skills, demonstrate analytical ability, and be involved in one’s community, especially in leadership positions. Most law schools require that students obtain a specific score on the LSATs.
