Pre-Law Minor

The Pre-Law minor is an 18-hour interdisciplinary minor designed to prepare students for the post-undergraduate study of law. It consists of 12 hours of required core courses and 6 hours from a list of selected electives. Courses taken to fulfill requirements for a major cannot be applied to the minor.

PLEASE NOTE: Students intending to apply to law school should not take any undergraduate course on Pass/Fail or CR/NC basis. Pass (P) is typically interpreted as a "C" or "D"; CR is typically interpreted as a "C"; and an NC as an "F".
