The following courses are<br />

PRE-LAW<br />
An advantage of <strong>the</strong> University’s<br />
Core Curriculum is that it develops<br />
<strong>the</strong> habits of critical and logical<br />
thinking that are central <strong>to</strong> admission<br />
<strong>to</strong>, and success in, law<br />
school. In addition, students<br />
planning <strong>to</strong> attend law school<br />
should place <strong>the</strong> greatest emphasis<br />
on skill in both oral and written<br />
communication. Both <strong>the</strong> B.S.<br />
in humanities and <strong>the</strong> B.S. in<br />
technical and professional<br />
communication provide a thorough<br />
education in communication and<br />
critical thinking, skills essential <strong>to</strong><br />
<strong>the</strong> study of law. The Humanities<br />
degree, especially, provides excellent<br />
preparation by offering a<br />
knowledge of <strong>the</strong> context and<br />
development of <strong>the</strong> U.S.<br />
system of law and government.<br />
Additional courses in four categories<br />
are particularly valuable <strong>to</strong><br />
pre-law students:<br />

Note: Completion of <strong>the</strong> <strong>Lawrence</strong> Tech requirements in <strong>the</strong> pre-professional programs does not assure <strong>the</strong> student of admission <strong>to</strong> medical, dental,<br />
law or graduate school. However, completion of <strong>the</strong> requirements and of o<strong>the</strong>r courses leading <strong>to</strong> a bachelor’s degree does qualify a student for<br />
consideration by most professional and graduate schools.<br />
