UNDERGRADUATE PREPARATION​

Law schools do not require applicants have a specific major because the essential skills of acquiring, synthesizing, applying and communicating information can be acquired through a wide variety of studies. Pre-Law students at CSU are encouraged to follow their natural interests and curiosity when selecting a major. Additionally, CSU offers a Pre-Law track that students are encouraged to add to their major on CampusNet, which allows academic advisors to assist in course planning and Career Development & Exploration to assist in career planning. Students are also encouraged to review recommended courses early for other schools they might be interested in applying to.
