BUSINESS AS PRE-LAW
Business is one of the more common and often recommended undergraduate degrees to pursue in preparation for law school. The Association of American Law Schools recommends certain areas of study be included in a pre-law student's curriculum. Business Administration majors can take these courses within their General Education coursework and/or as electives. The University's Pre-Law Advisor helps students interested in a law career plan a course of study.
