Pre-Legal Studies

Students are admitted to law school from almost every academic discipline. At Antioch College, students preparing for law school may choose to study an interdisciplinary academic focus that enables them to develop their knowledge and skills in the areas of problem-solving, critical thinking, written communication, oral communication, research methodologies. Students also have the option of designing their own major that incorporates academic disciplines considered to be traditional preparation for law school, such as history, philosophy, or political economy. Whatever academic pathway you select, you are encouraged to engage with areas of study that interest and challenge you, take difficult courses from demanding instructors, and pursue cooperative education experiences in the legal field.

All students preparing for law school are supported by a pre-professional faculty advising team that helps them in all phases of their pre-legal education – from course selection, through finding best-fit law schools, to the application process. Students are also encouraged to take an LSAT preparation course offered yearly by pre-law faculty advisors.
