Requirements for the Pre-Law Concentration in Political Science
The pre-law concentration within political science is specifically designed to prepare students to succeed in law school. It consists of a political science major and an English or journalism minor, together with selected other required courses, core curriculum courses, and electives. Entering freshmen must have a minimum 22 composite on the ACT. A 2.5 GPA is required to transfer into the program and must be maintained by students in the program. Students are advised that a minimum GPA of 3.0 or higher is suggested as the GPA typically necessary for admission to law school. Students wishing to pursue this concentration should follow the political science curriculum outlined above with the following differences: History (HIST 101 and HIST 102 or HIST 201 and HIST 202 , instead of all four courses); Modern Language (6 hours); English or Journalism (must minor in either English or Journalism.); Law (must take BLAW 255 , BLAW 356 and POLS 426 , POLS 427 ).
