Pre-Law Option
The pre-law program is essentially the history major/minor with the addition of recommended courses that help the student acquire analytical, contextual, and communication skills that are at a premium in the legal profession. Students are encouraged to use general education and history elective hours to take courses in political science, business law and ethics, and American history. Students who are seriously considering application to law school are encouraged to consult with the Multnomah University pre-law advisor early in their undergraduate program.
