Law


It is important that students interested in legal professions meet with the Pre-Law advisors in the Political Science department on a regular basis. The advisors will help students design a plan of study to meet each student’s needs. The plan of study emphasizes a broad liberal arts education and the acquisition of skills in critical thinking, speaking, and writing. It is essential that students maintain a grade point average of at least 3.0 and that they perform well on the Law School Admission Test to have a reasonable opportunity for admission to law school. The Pre-Law advisors are liaisons to the Law School Admission Council and have a variety of law school catalogs, bulletins, brochures, and other materials which students may consult as aids in making decisions related to careers in law.
