Undergraduate Catalog

Suggested Curriculum (Electives) for Pre-Law Students

Students can enter law school from any undergraduate program. Most law school bulletins suggest that prospective students have a strong background in history, political science, and English, as well as some preparation in economics, business, sociology, psychology, and mathematics. This suggested list of pre-law electives is designed to give students in any major the necessary academic background to succeed in law school. LSAT study material and guides to admission to law school are available in the Warden Memorial Library.
