Pre-Law Major

Major

The Bethel University pre-law degree is designed to afford students a diverse education covering different fields that will prepare a student for a legal education. Law schools look to candidates who have a broad-based education which can cover several disciplines. This kind of diversified education teaches students skills needed for the LSAT and a legal education rather than specific knowledge on a single subject. This emphasis will provide a sound foundation for legal studies and a broad knowledge of social sciences, economics, communication, and the humanities.

The major will also help students develop an understanding of ethical patterns and professional conduct in the study of law from a Christian perspective.
