Students considering application to law school can develop proficiency in communication and analysis through courses in Economics, Literature, History, Politics, and Philosophy. Such study is sound preparation for the Law School Admission Test (LSAT). Students motivated to a high achievement in the sciences have been successful applicants to medical schools.
Internships extend the class work into the greater Washington community, and many students have turned internships into their first professional employment.
