The Pre-Law program at Ursinus College emphasize the pursuit of your individual passions, while honing your analytic and persuasive communication skills —crucial for crafting compelling arguments.
The interdisciplinary nature of our pre-law program allows Ursinus students to explore subjects like political science, history, philosophy, biology, Spanish, dance — all broadening perspectives on justice and society while also distinguishing yourself on law school applications.
We believe in the power of strong professor-student connection and mentorship. We treat our students as individuals —connecting them with alumni in the field and often inviting experts into the classroom..
Hands-On Experiences
Internships and mock trials offer hands-on experience, giving students a taste of real-world legal work. This path opens doors to various careers, not just in law, but also in government, business, and advocacy, making it a versatile and marketable choice for those passionate about making a difference through the legal system.
The pre-law program at Ursinus has two overarching goals:
- To help you figure out whether the law is right for you;
- To help guide you through the application process if law school is the right direction for you.
