Curriculum
Law schools want students with abilities in analytical, logical and critical thinking, and superior writing and oral communication skills.
The Legal Studies minor provides exactly that kind of instruction. In addition, we want you to have the flexibility to choose any major that excites you as you prepare for law school. Students do better when they major in fields that interest them, and maintaining a high grade point average is key to getting into the law school of your choice.
Our Legal Studies advisor will help you decide the best course of action to prepare for entry into law school. We’ll work with you to uncover opportunities to gain exposure to the legal profession. You’ll also get assistance with the law school application process.
