At the undergraduate level, pre-law exists as a program, not a major. Law schools in the United States seek students who possess diverse interests, skills, and especially expertise. Unlike many graduate programs that prepare students to enter prominent professions, law schools do not require undergraduates to complete any specific courses!

If you want to attend law school, you should first select a major that fits your interests and assures academic success. Law schools look first and foremost for students with high grade point averages and high scores on the Law School Admission Test (LSAT).
Capital also boasts an undergraduate student organization, the pre-law society.
