Pre-Law School Advisor
Students preparing to enter law school must dedicate themselves to academic excellence in their undergraduate
studies. Most law schools in the United States make admission decisions relying heavily on a candidate‘s
undergraduate grade point average and performance on the Law School Admissions Test (LSAT).
Pre-law students are encouraged to contact the University pre-law advisor via the Department of Government
early in the course of their matriculation. Information is available on courses of study, law school admissions,
career options, and LSAT preparation.
In the spring semester of the junior year, the student should begin to prepare for the LSAT and compile the
information required by the Law School Data Assembly Service (LSDAS). Information on the LSDAS can be
found at the office of the pre-law advisor. Students are strongly discouraged from taking the LSAT without
thorough preparation.
The pre-law advisor is Jodey Hinze.
The Learning Center
Students of all majors may use The Learning Center (TLC) services. TLC promotes student success by
providing academic support services to all students; specifically, TLC is responsible for coordinating tutorial
services. TLC has provided tutoring in accounting, algebra, biology, business math, chemistry, math, economics,
preparation for THEA, Spanish, and help with essay writing. The Learning Center is located in the Lake House.
