Liberal Arts - Pre-law Concentration 1400, A.S.


A Two-Year Transfer Program Leading to the A.S. or A.A. Degree

There is no single course of study for pre-law majors. Law schools generally desire superior students who have completed a liberal arts program, but a large number of law students come from schools of business. Political science provides a good major, and business, history, English, mathematics, psychology, philosophy and economics are good minors. The program below is essentially a liberal arts curriculum.
