Pre-Law Freshman Pathway

Students interested in the Pre-Law concentration in HCOM may choose it for a variety of reasons, including personal interest, plans to attend law school, and/or such anticipated careers as law, government, social services, advocacy and business. While there is no prescribed pathway, students are encouraged to choose courses, both in the lower and upper division, that are rigorous, challenging, and facilitate the development of critical thinking skills, reasoning skills, problem solving skills, effective communication skills, and a deeper understanding of ethics and social justice.

These pathways serve as tools, not prescribed programs of study. Before enrolling, you can use them to get a feel for what you can do in this program. After enrolling, you and your advisors can use them as a starting point for building your personalized outcomes-based ILP.

This pathway, intended as a reference, shows a productive route to graduation in four years.  Your actual pathway may not look exactly like the model due to several factors:

• Any required remedial courses, such as MATH 098 and WRT 095
• Actual availability of courses during a given semester
• Personal choices you make in your Individual Learning Plan, in consultation with your advisors
