PRE-LAWAdvisors: Larry Nelson, Terri Peretti Santa Clara University provides a wide range of opportunities for undergraduates interested in attending law school to build a strong pre-law foundation. Early in their undergraduate program, pre-law students should consult not only with their major advisor but also with one of the designated pre-law advisors to formulate a program designed for their specific needs and career goals. There is no specific major or curriculum required to qualify for law school admission. Successful law school applicants come from majors as diverse as anthropology, philosophy, communication, political science, physics, English, history, biology, and economics. Law school admissions officers recommend undergraduate preparation in a major that demands discipline, analytical ability, research skills, and precision in written and oral work. The departments of Anthropology, Philosophy, and Political Science offer a pre-law or a law and society emphasis within the major. Elective courses also provide valuable training and breadth of academic and analytical experience. Some elective courses strengthen specific abilities, while others provide perspective on legal issues and topics. Possible electives include, but are not limited to the following: ANTHROPOLOGY COURSES ANTH 151. Law and Society COMMUNICATION COURSES COMM 20. Public Speaking ECONOMICS COURSES ECON 126. Economics and the Law ENGLISH COURSES ENGL 174. Nonfiction Writing ENVIRONMENTAL STUDIES COURSES ENVS 120. Introduction to Environmental Law and Regulation in the U.S. PHILOSOPHY COURSES PHIL 10.
