The writing-intensive, English Pre-Law Track is geared toward preparing the English major for the study of law. In this track some specific General College Curriculum (GCC) courses are required or highly recommended; one English requirement is changed; and specific political science/history courses are required. These courses can also be used to meet the requirements of the core curriculum.

 

To fulfill the English Pre-Law Track, a student must complete the “English Major Requirements” and the “Pre-Law Requirements.”  Note that ENGL courses in the “Pre-Law Requirements” may also count toward the “English Major Requirements.”

Degree Requirements


In addition to the requirements of the academic major, students must comply with the General Academic Regulations for Graduation  and Undergraduate Academic Policies .  As part of these policies, students must complete the General College Curriculum , which is based on the degree.
