BA in General Studies with a Pre Legal Concentration

While there is no single path to prepare for a legal education, the Bachelor of Arts in general studies with a concentration in pre-legal studies at Trine University is a strong option for students looking toward a career in law.

The degree: Develop in-demand skills
Law schools value a diverse student body and intentionally select students from a wide variety of undergraduate majors. Nevertheless, certain areas of study provide excellent preparation for the pre-law candidate. The American Bar Association's section on legal education recommends courses that teach the following core skills and values: analytic/problem-solving skills, critical reading, writing skills, oral communication, listening abilities, general research skills, task organization, management skills, and public service and the promotion of justice. Trine's pre-legal studies concentration is designed to provide students the opportunity to develop these skills and values.
