Pre-Law

“Pre-Law” is not a discipline.  It is a career intention, and as such, it demands careful academic planning.  Part of that planning is to choose college courses that provide a basis for the study of law in a U.S. law school.  

At California State University, Bakersfield, three disciplines that are critically important in law today offer a pre-law concentration in their Bachelor of Arts (B.A.) degree programs:

Economics: The primary subject of law in a free-market economy
Philosophy: A discipline that specializes in abstract reasoning
Political Science: A social science focused on public authority
Students who plan to attend law school are also encouraged to pursue a Pre-Law minor in one of these disciplines.

Pre-Law Program Director & Faculty Advisor to the Pre-Law Society
