Pre-Law Supplemental Major

 Share  |  E-mail  |  Print  |  Text Size

Students seeking professional preparation in law may complete a supplemental major in addition to an appropriate major offered by Aurora University.

Law schools recognize that an excellent general education at the undergraduate level is one of the best ways to prepare for law school work. Students should take courses that are challenging and that allow the student to become knowledgeable about many diverse topics. Those college courses that permit the student to develop oral and written communication skills, reading skills, and analytical skills will be most beneficial to students involved in the rigors of pursuing a legal education. Law schools require no particular coursework or undergraduate major, although traditionally history, political science, and business administration degrees have been most frequently presented by students entering law school. The pre-law program encourages students to expand their general knowledge as much as possible and to develop and practice the skills necessary for performance at the law school level.
