The purpose of Dallas Baptist University's political science program is to foster an appreciation for the study of government and politics and to encourage students to become informed and concerned participants in a democratic society. To achieve this purpose, the program offers a broad introduction to political institutions, processes, and behavior. In doing so, the program seeks to produce servant leaders who have the ability to integrate faith and learning through their respective callings. Provide a broad liberal arts background for those students intending to enter public service, to attend law school, or to pursue graduate study.
Most law schools have no specific requirements for the pre-law curriculum.
A broad liberal arts background, however, is recommended. Emphasis is placed upon courses from diverse fields which may help a student develop specific skills necessary for the successful practice of law.
