Department: English Department Chair: Dennis Gill (ext. 5915) Advising: Dennis Gill (ext. 5915)

Every law school in Oregon (University of Oregon, Lewis and Clark College of Law, and Willame e University College of Law) requires a baccalaureate degree as a prerequisite for admission. Generally law schools do not require a par cular pre-law major. However, most law schools will review pre-law majors, minors, courses and curricula for cri cal thinking and intellectual content. While no one major is required, well developed communica on, wri ng and research skills are emphasized. Common majors for students applying to law school are economics, poli cal science, history, English, business, and accoun ng.

In selec ng a pre-law major, students may want to consider par cular areas in the prac ce of law such as government or poli cal science, business and corporate sciences, criminal jus ce, or accoun ng and tax. It is important to choose a major that ﬁ ts the student’s interests while encouraging intellectual growth. Admission to law school is based on academic achievement, employment experience, extra-curricular ac vi es and performance on the Law School Admission Test (LSAT). A personal interview with the applicant and le ers of recommenda on may also be requested by the law school prior to admission.

TVCC students interested in pre-law should study for the Associate of Arts degree and obtain informa on on a major ﬁ eld of study within the framework of baccalaureate degree program from the four-year ins tu on to which the student will later transfer. In prepara on for transfer, students should consult with their TVCC advisor and with an advisor at the college or university to which they intend to transfer for any special requirements or addi onal coursework.
