Pre-law Curriculum GuideAdmission to law school is highly competitive and is based on the student's undergraduate grade point average and a law school admission test. Law school admission tests help determine a student's reading comprehension and deductive reasoning abilities. Law schools do not require a specific undergraduate major. However, the undergraduate major should be sufficiently rigorous, and majors that emphasize verbal and analytical skills are recommended. Thus, Economics, English, History, Mathematics, Philosophy and Political Science are traditionally good pre-law majors. A student’s class selections should be planned with the requirements of the transfer institution in mind. See your advisor for enrollment information and transfer institution requirements.Associate in Arts DegreeMost pre-law majors opt for the Associate in Arts degree. This degree is meant to transfer to a baccalaureate degree granting institution. The student must complete 64 semester hours with a grade point average of 2.00 (C) or above. There is a minimum cumulative general education requirement of 36 semester hours. A minimum number of semester credit hours will be required in each of the fields listed below.
