When considering a law career, it is important that you select a university that offers a wide range of challenging course work and resources. The university should reflect a commitment of specific institutions and values of society. Saint Louis University offers the comprehensive liberal arts curriculum and the value-oriented quality education that is required as a foundation for a successful legal career.

The Pre-Law program at Saint Louis University is designed to advise and inform students interested in law as a profession. Since law schools do not demand a specific major, preparation for law school is broadly defined. The Pre-Law advisor assists students in designing their curriculum, advises students about law school admission requirements, and provides information about legal opportunities.

Students complete the prelaw curriculum and a major in an academic discipline of their choice. Many students choose disciplines such as Political Science, English, Criminal Justice, and Sociology. While law schools specify no particular curriculum for prospective law students, they do require a baccalaureate degree from an accredited college or university as a condition for admission.

The faculty of the Pre-Law Scholars program is dedicated to aiding students in their pursuit, enriching their teaching with first-hand experience in research and the workforce.
