Pre-Law
Description
The Pre-Law minor is designed for students who are considering law school.This minor is focused on developing core skills necessary for success in the study of law such as critical thinking and analysis, writing and speaking, human behavior and social relations, and leadership/organization. Since the American Bar Association does not recommend any particular undergraduate majors or courses to be taken by those wishing to prepare for the legal profession, Pre-Law is designed to provide career direction rather than be a major itself. A student who has completed this minor should have developed the skills and values that law schools find appealing.
