Overview

The Pre-Law programme of Capital University gives students strong reasoning and communication skills -- something recommended by The American Bar Association. Students select a major of their choice, and with the guidance from their advisor, take electives that will prepare you for the Law School Admissions Test (LSAT).

Key facts

While not required for the Pre-Law path, Capital offers a 3+3 Bachelor of Arts/Juris Doctor degree.

The first of its kind in Ohio, the degree gives students the option of earning a bachelor’s degree and if accepted, a law degree from Capital University Law School.

Students enrolled in the 3+3 program can complete both in just six years, saving both time and tuition.
