Common FAQs
The university does not have any of those three options, but in a pre-law advising appointment we can discuss how you can incorporate your law interests into your studies.
Law schools do not require students to be a specific major to apply. I encourage you to select a major you will excel in.
Law schools do not have prerequisite course you need to take.
Some law schools have additional application requirements, but the schools will always ask for a personal statement, all college level transcripts, 1-2 letters of recommendation, resume, and your LSAT score.
