Law Pre-Professional

UW-Stout's B.S. degrees in Applied Social Sciences, Business Administration, Human Development and Family Studies, or Psychology can prepare you to apply to law schools when following recommended coursework.

There is no single set of courses which specifically prepares someone for law school and a subsequent legal career.
