Academic Programs - Pre-Law

Program Overview

Pre-law is not an academic major. At MacMurray, students headed for law school work with the pre-law advisor to select a major that will maximize the students' chances for getting into law school and prepare them for the area of the law in which they are most interested. Law school admissions committees are looking for students with excellent grades in any rigorous major. A student interested in environmental law may choose to major in biology. A student interested in tax law would choose accounting. Majors in areas such as history, English, political science and philosophy are always attractive to law schools because of their emphasis on writing and analysis.

Internships

Students may elect to do an internship for college credit with an area attorney.
