Pre-Law Minor
Law schools are seeking young
men and women with analytical minds who can think clearly
and logically and then express themselves both orally and in
writing. The Association of American Law Schools advises the
pre-law student to "major in the field in which he is most
interested and do as well as he can in all his subjects.''
The Pre-Law Minor is designed to prepare students for
admission to and success in law school. For more
information, please contact Dr. Deborah Carter Quick,
Department Chair, Pre-Law Advisor at (704) 378-1166 or
dcarter@jcsu.edu.
Students will be required to complete 18 credit hours of
specified courses, maintain a 2.5 GPA, and satisfy all other
University requirements. Successful completion of the Minor
will be recognized on the student's transcript.
