Bachelor of Arts in Politics - Pre-Law Track

Program Overview

The Pre-Law "track" is independent of the department's three "concentrations" in American government, political theory, and world politics. Students from any concentration may be "pre-law trackers," though the usual course offerings mean it overlaps the most with the American government concentration. Taking the pre-law track does not obviate the need to otherwise fulfill concentration requirements.
