Graduates are entitled to admission to the bar in the jurisdiction of their choice upon successful completion of that jurisdiction's bar examination. There is no prescribed pre-law curriculum. The law school student body typically includes representatives of nearly every undergraduate field of study. The faculty of the School of Law strongly recommends a broad and liberal undergraduate program which combines rigorous and creative thinking, careful and thorough analysis and substantial oral and written communication opportunities. The major should be a subject area which interests and stimulates the student.
Admission is competitive.
