Pre-Law

Program Overview.

Successful preparation for law school includes majors as diverse as Political Science, Psychology, English, History, and Business Administration. Students who prefer to do so, may personally design an interdisciplinary major in pre-law studies, or complete a minor in Legal Studies. The Pre-Law program at Morningside isn't necessarily a major but, rather prepares students for entry and success in law school.
