Majors at Ohio Dominican

Pre-Law Program

Degree offered: Bachelor of Arts in Political Science

Although no particular course of study or major field is mandated for admission to law school, students who do best on the Law School Admission Test (LSAT) are those who major in the Liberal Arts, where they develop certain general skills and abilities. These skills include a high degree of proficiency in written and oral expression; critical and comprehensive reading; logical analysis; a critical understanding of the development of ideas and social institutions, especially the U.S. government and law; and a capacity to make sound value judgments.

The Ohio Dominican undergraduate preparation in Pre-Law completes all of the general distribution requirements for the Bachelor of Arts degree in Political Science. Students in this program earn a major in Political Science with a Pre-Law concentration. Elective credits are used to fulfill program requirements, in addition to the general distribution requirements.

Interested students should consult with the Pre-Law (Political Science) advisor as they plan their programs.
