While the Department understands that students can matriculate into law school after completing a baccalaureate degree in any major and that there are no hard and fast pre-requisite courses for law school, we offer a concentration in Pre-Law studies. After establishing relationships with local law schools and comparing the undergraduate curricula of successful law students, the Pre-Law concentration gives students the core skills and values recommended by the American Bar Association including: Analytic / Problem Solving Skills; Critical Reading; Writing Skills; Oral Communication / Listening Abilities; General Research Skills; Task Organization / Management Skills; Public Service and Promotion of Justice. The Pre-Law concentration is the first of its kind in the curriculum of any Historically Black College or University, which also includes an internship. Law school admission is not a guarantee of the program but the skills gained are invaluable for any discipline of study.
Students may also declare a minor in History (general) or Political Science (general).
