Pre-Professional Programs
Since the various professional schools have different requirements for entrance, pre-professional students should familiarize themselves with such requirements as quickly as possible. The pre-professional programs offered by the College of Liberal and Applied Arts are pre-law and pre-ministry.Pre-Law Study

The Pre-Law student may elect any program leading to the baccalaureate degree with any major and minor in the specific academic areas chosen. Students do not major in Pre-Law.
Students electing this special pre-professional goal are urged to choose a major that will provide a strong academic program experience should they fail to be accepted by a law school or should they ultimately decide not to pursue law as a career.
The Department of Government offers a set of courses in law that enhances the liberal arts education and introduces students to the study of law, society and legal systems. If the student plans to enter law school on a six-year combination program, he or she should adapt his or her schedule to the entrance requirements of the law school. See the pre-law adviser as early as possible about this option.

The association suggests that students take 90 semester hours, or approximately three-fourths of their college work, in the following areas: English, history, philosophy, natural sciences, social sciences, foreign language and religion. Suggested majors and minors are English, history and philosophy.
