Pre-Law

Pre-Law

Birmingham-Southern College has a long tradition of preparing students for the study and practice of law, and our graduates are admitted to prestigious law schools across the country. We see students move from law school to a variety of different roles, from private practice lawyers to judges and prosecutors to corporate executives and civil servants. With a liberal arts education, students gain skills in research, communication, problem-solving, critical reading and writing, organization, and management that prepare them for a career in law. Our pre-law advisory program provides students with an additional advisor and connections to professional internships during their time at BSC.

Pre-law students can major in any subject they wish. Without a set pre-law curriculum, we encourage students to choose courses that interest and challenge them and save direct legal study for law school. A broad and diverse set of courses develop the values of serving in the interest of others and promoting justice faithfully. Many pre-law students major in English, history, philosophy, or political science majors, but we have seen BSC students succeed in law school with majors as diverse as music and chemistry.
