The best preparation for law school is a broad liberal arts background that includes courses that strengthen your command of English, develop your ability to think logically, and increase your understanding of human institutions and values. The list of links below provides information on how best to prepare for law school while you are an undergraduate as well as some guidelines for the application process. If you have any questions, contact our office at 262-2583 to make an appointment with a pre-law advisor.
