Pre-Law

About our program

If you want the best possible preparation for getting into law school 鈥� and becoming a world-class attorney 鈥� our Pre-Law program is a perfect place to start. Because we have our own law school, we know exactly what it takes to be admitted. You'll even have an opportunity to complete your bachelor's and law degrees in six years rather than seven when you're accepted into our Pre-Law Scholars Program, which offers conditional acceptance to 天美传媒 Law School while you鈥檙e still an undergraduate.

At 天美传媒, pre-law isn't technically a major. Rather, it's an intention that you plan to attend law school. That means you'll choose a related major, such as business administration, English, history, philosophy or political science, and we'll guide you along the way to ensure you're building a strong foundation for acceptance to any law school.

And 天美传媒鈥檚 values-based curriculum means 测辞耻鈥檒濒 cultivate the tools you need to not only know the law but practice it with integrity and justice.
