UCR offers prelaw advising and other support services to help students attain that goal. First, though, students must select an undergraduate major to lay a foundation for law school admission. The range of choices for a major is broad.
Some students select English, for example.
Others may choose History, Philosophy, Political Science, or Sociology in which to earn their bachelor's degree. All of those are available at UCR, and can be combined with UCR's unique Law and Society cooperative for an even more comprehensive undergraduate major. Other students, interested in practicing law in the fields of science and technology, natural resources, business, or other disciplines, may begin their foundation with an undergraduate program in Biology, Environmental Science, or Business Administration, to name a few. Law schools look for particular qualities in students during the admissions process. Many internship opportunities exist.
