Minor | On Campus
The Pre-Law minor is designed to develop and enhance those skills required both at law school and in a legal career. It is based on recommendations set down for undergraduate colleges by the Association of American Law Schools. The AALS suggests that interested students develop basic skills and insights in:
- Comprehension and expression of words
- Critical understanding of the human institution and values with which law deals
- Creative power of thinking
The Pre-Law minor entails challenging coursework that reinforces and extends the foundation gained through the General Education Core, provides advanced analytical and writing skills, and introduces the student to the social and governmental structures that underlie the law. This minor may be combined with any major field of concentration.
