Â鶹ÒùÔº who plan to apply to law school upon completing their baccalaureate degree do not have to complete any specific course requirements for admission to law school. Instead, they should major in the discipline that best suits their intellectual interests and talents. Pre-law students should seek a rigorous and broad-based education that will ensure them a fundamental understanding of American society and its institutions. Â鶹ÒùÔº should become familiar with mathematical analysis and scientific reasoning, and develop excellent oral and written communication skills.
