Pre-Law Studies Department

Pre-Law Studies

The American Bar Association (ABA) recommends a wide range of majors for students interested in pursuing a career in law. Students are encouraged to pursue areas of study that interest and challenge them, while taking care to develop skills in critical reading, research, analysis, logic, and writing. Students can pursue any field of study, but typically students interested in law school pursue a degree in one of the following majors:

  • Business Administration
  • Criminal Justice
  • English
  • History
  • Media Communication
  • Political Science
  • Social Work

Students also pursue minors in the following fields:

  • Business Administration
  • Creative Writing
  • Criminal Justice
  • Diversity Studies
  • History
  • Literary and Cultural Studies
  • Media Communication
  • Philosophy
  • Political Science
  • Professional Writing
  • Social Work
  • Speech

However, students who have degrees in STEM, the arts, and nursing can also choose to pursue a career in law.

Preparation for law school uses a skills-based approach rather than a knowledge-based approach. You want to pursue undergraduate coursework in your major and minor that helps you develop and master skills in:

  • Reading comprehension 鈥� the ability to read, with understanding and insight, lengthy and complex materials*
  • Analytical reasoning 鈥� the ability to consider a group of facts and rules and determine what could or must be true*
  • Logical reasoning 鈥� the ability to analyze, critically evaluate, and complete arguments*
