The Pre-law Studies Minor is an inter-disciplinary minor designed to give students a broad background upon which to build formal legal training.

The minor includes courses in economics, English, history, philosophy, political science and public speaking that are designed to prepare students with the skills necessary to be successful law school applicants and students.
