Maryville University's Pre-Law program is designed to prepare students for admission to law school. While law schools accept students from a wide range of undergraduate majors, this program offers dedicated advising to guide you through the process. You will be assigned both an academic advisor from your chosen major and a pre-law advisor. These advisors will assist you with selecting a suitable major, choosing a legal internship, preparing for the LSAT admissions exam, and navigating the law school application process. Graduates have been accepted into top law programs across the country.
A pre-law background prepares students for a variety of legal careers. The Bureau of Labor Statistics projects job growth in this field, with numerous opportunities in legal services, government, and self-employment. Lawyers are essential in private and corporate legal offices.
Students interested in law can major in any field of their choice, often aligning their major with their specific legal interests.
