Pre-Law Minor

Degree Type

Minor

Students interested in Law should consider adding the Pre-Law Minor to their Major degree program.

The Pre-Law Minor introduces students to the history of ideas, specifically the socio-political-legal underpinnings of our Western culture, and provides them with the opportunity to reflect upon some of the most fundamental and important questions encountered within human experience. The Minor also offers courses that rigorously engage students in topics pertinent to the study of Law. In addition to content areas such as Constitutional Law, Philosophy of Law, and History of Political Thought, the Minor emphasizes writing, reading comprehension, and reasoning, which together provide particularly appropriate means for preparing students for Law School or related fields. Additionally, the Logic course provides students the necessary reasoning tools to support the essential LSAT portion of the Law School application process.
