What major must I pursue to prepare for law school?
Law schools don't require a specific undergraduate major. What is most important is that you study your most significant area of interest while focusing on these key skills:
- Critical thinking and analysis
- Writing
- Research
- Communication
Students pursue majors across all disciplines with some common programs of study being political science, English, sociology, public policy, marketing, and management.
The minor in legal studies provides undergraduate students with the opportunity to explore the law from an interdisciplinary perspective. Legal studies is not a “pre-law” program, and it does not offer paralegal training. However, the program is a suitable minor for those who plan to pursue professional training.
