Pre-Law Advising

Law schools select students from a wide variety of majors. As a result, there is no pre-law major or prescribed curriculum at K-State; rather, pre-law is an interest area for students considering law school. Pre-law students select majors in any college on campus. Students who are undecided as to major should explore curriculum options with an Open Option advisor in the College of Arts and Sciences.

While the Association of American Law Schools does not prescribe a particular pre-law curriculum, it emphasizes the selection of rigorous courses that will aid students in the development of critical and analytical thinking skills, a facility with written and spoken expression, an understanding of our society's institutions and values, and creative power in thinking. The development of these capacities is a highly individualized process to be pursued in consultation with the student's major advisor and the pre-law advisor.

Students in all majors who are considering attending law school should consult with the pre-law advisor in the College of Arts and Science dean's office early in their undergraduate career. Additional information about pre-law can be found on the pre-law website at www.ksu.edu/artsci/prelaw/.
