Overview

If you are interested in law school after graduation, we can advise you.

Preparation for law school requires a broad-based and rigorous undergraduate education that emphasizes critical thinking, studious reading and excellence of writing.

We can help you choose a sound academic program, plan for the LSAT exam, explore appropriate internships, and apply to law school.

Although there is no particular major required for admission to law school, your chosen program of study should include challenging courses that sharpen the intellect and develop your ability to think analytically and communicate clearly. These skills can be refined in any number of courses including those in the humanities, social sciences, natural sciences and business.

Key features

If you are interested in law school, a legal career, or the combined B.A/J.D. program, please contact the University’s Pre-Law Advisor, Dr. Alain L. Sanders of the Department of Political Science.

The Pre-Law program at Saint Peter's University seek students who are able to operate at their peak in a demanding academic environment, and who can demonstrate this ability by achieving an outstanding undergraduate academic record and scoring high on the Law School Admission Test (LSAT).
