The Pre-Law concentration provides a foundation of knowledge, starting with ethics and a survey of American Law and moving up into learning about constitutional law and laws about children and their families.

What Can I Do With A Concentration in Pre-Law?

This concentration pairs well with other programs, such as Economics, English Literature, History, Legal Studies, and Political Science, which focus on developing strong reading and writing skills. Students who go on to get a law degree can pursue a variety of roles including:
