Pre-law
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
A pre-law degree is one preparing for law school. It is usually not a major, but a set of courses which prepare one for law school. In addition to the specific college's requirements, there are also standard requirements set forth by the American Bar Association and the Law School Admission Council.
The pre-law program is offered at many American colleges and universities; however, it is considered to be a "track" that follows a certain curriculum. Most pre-law students major in the social sciences, such as philosophy, political science, or sociology, though this is not a requirement.
