Pre-law Faculty and Advisors
Faculty pre-law advisors will help you plan a curriculum of study, balancing personal interests with excellent preparation in the liberal arts to enhance your chances of law school admission. Students interested in law school do not need to have a faculty pre-law advisor serve as their primary academic advisor at the College. However, students are expected to consult regularly with a faculty pre-law advisor to discuss their course schedule.
Our pre-law career coach works to help you with choosing a law school, identifying appropriate out-of-classroom activities, and preparing for the law school admissions process.
