PRE-LAW STUDIES
AND ADVISING
Students who plan to pursue a law degree after
graduation should contact the Academic Success
Center. In addition to an academic major advisor,
the student will be assigned a pre-law advisor
who will help with course selection, researching
law schools, the law school application process,
and preparing for LSATs.
In general, to be a successful law school candidate,
a student must achieve good grades in challenging
courses, develop excellent writing skills, demonstrate
analytical ability, and be involved in one’s
community, especially in leadership positions.
Most law schools require that students obtain
a specific score on the LSATs.

PRE-MEDICINE

graduation should contact the Academic Success
Center. In addition to an academic major advisor,
the student will be assigned a pre-medicine advisor
who will help with course selection, researching
medical schools, completing the medical school
application process, and preparing for MCATs.
Although medical schools do not require specific
degrees as prerequisites for admission, most require
strong academic performance in specific courses.
The courses most often required include General
Biology I and II, General Chemistry I and II,
Organic Chemistry I and II, Physics I and II,
Calculus I, and General Psychology. To be a successful
medical school applicant, students must also demonstrate
an understanding of the medical profession through
work or volunteer activities. Required MCAT scores
