Bachelors in Pre Law

4 Years On Campus Bachelors Program

University of California Santa Cruz

Program Overview

The nation s top law schools have accepted many UC Santa Cruz graduates. UCSC does not have a major title of Prelaw. We offer a legal studies major and a politics major. It is a popular misconception that students must major in prelaw, legal studies, or politics in order to get into law school. This simply is not the case. Law schools accept students from a variety of majors including, but not limited to, sociology, literature, philosophy, psychology, biology, anthropology, physics, economics, chemistry, mathematics, and engineering. Law schools are primarily interested in students who possess strong analytical and communication skills. They prefer students who have a diverse educational background to those who have a narrow academic focus.
