Law schools do not specify a particular major which students must complete as undergraduates.
To prepare for law school, students should take courses that develop skills in writing, public speaking, logical reasoning, analytical reasoning, historical research, and accounting principles. Any major can be chosen to study for law study but it is critical to have courses where you have to read case law and focus on developing your writing skills. Please consult with Dr. Keil to choose an appropriate major and course of study.
Most important is the quality of your academic work and the academic and intellectual skills you develop in your course of study.
A number of majors at SVSU can serve as preparation for law school: Political Science, Criminal Justice, Accounting, Communication, English, History, and Management.
