Pre-Law Minor

The pre-law minor provides the critical reading, thinking, and discussion skills necessary for success on the LSATs and in law school while exposing students to ideas and subjects related to law such as public policy and contemporary social issues. Through their minor pre-law students will engage in conversations about American democracy, the nature of justice, and the rule of law in society and explore legal and ethical issues in fields such as business, criminal justice, communications, and more. In meeting requirements for their major, students with pre-law minors are encouraged to undertake an internship related to the field of law. Alvernia’s pre-law faculty advisors have varied academic and professional backgrounds enabling them to help students interested in pursuing a career in law, regardless of the student’s academic major.
