Pre-Law

The training of lawyers is the function of the nation’s law schools, and inasmuch as those schools do not recommend any particular major as the single “best” preparation for law school, the College does not offer an established “pre-law” major. However, a designated member of the faculty assists students interested in a law career by suggesting those courses best suited to the development of the basic skills and insight needed for law school in conjunction with advice from the student’s major advisor. Such courses prepare students for the academic challenges of a legal education and for the needs and responsibilities facing practicing attorneys.
