Pre-Law
Students pursuing a legal career must be well prepared for the academic rigors of law school and the legal profession. Essential areas of development for the Pre-Law student are analytical thinking, critical reading, superior writing and research, and task management and organizational skills. To assist the Pre-Law student in the development of these areas, Central State University offers a Pre-Law Interdisciplinary Minor.
