Program Highlights

Bryant’s Pre-Law program supports students interested in law as a career and guides you through the process of applying to law school. This is an advisory program, not a major/minor course of study. 

If you are considering law school, a dedicated pre-law advisor can work with you to:

  • Discuss and recommend course options.*
  • Explore different career paths. 
  • Explain the law school application process and which law school may be right for you.
  • Find internship opportunities and networking events.

You’ll benefit from personalized attention, including one-on-one appointments with your pre-law advisor to address questions at any stage of the law school exploration or application process. Our advisors stay informed about current news and trends by attending conferences, participating in law-related networks, and maintaining relationships with law school admission deans and other pre-law advisors. 

(*The American Bar Association does not recommend any specific undergraduate major to prepare for a legal education, and students are admitted to law school from all disciplines.)
