Special curriculum; major code BA4203

The prelaw major in political science gives students access to advice, activities, and courses designed to prepare them for law school. Prelaw majors meet the same requirements as general political science majors. They are encouraged to complete the Law, Justice and Political Thought track, which offers a liberal arts education for undergraduate prelaw students, as well as those studying political theory and legal institutions from a broader perspective. After completing the core requirements of the major, students take courses introducing concepts basic to the study of law and political theory. Advanced students take an array of electives in the fields as well as internships in a variety of legal and public affairs settings.
