PRE-LAW CONCENTRATION

Pre-Law-header

History majors may opt to include a Pre-Law concentration, refining their studies and cultivating the essential skills for a career in the legal field.

The Pre-Law concentration provides undergraduate students with additional opportunities to hone their expository writing skills, strengthen their ability to construct and present persuasive written and oral arguments, and engage in the type of analysis needed for success as legal professionals. In addition to specific courses offered by the Department of History, the Pre-Law concentration requires students to select from a set of distinctive courses regularly offered by Arts and Science Professional Development and the Departments of Political Science, English, Communication, Philosophy and Sociology/Criminology.

Courses taken in the Pre-Law concentration that also count toward the History major will count toward both the History major and the Pre-Law concentration. The concentration requires 19 credits, at least 9 credits of which must be completed within the Department of History. For more information, please view the course catalog.
