Pre-Law Professional Pathways

Your path to law school: diverse majors, singular success

At Saint Mary’s University of Minnesota, we understand that the journey to law school is as diverse as the legal field itself. Unlike traditional Pre-Law programs, we don’t confine you to a specific set of courses. Why? Because the American Bar Association affirms that there is no one-size-fits-all approach to legal education. Successful law professionals come from various walks of life and educational backgrounds.¹

Saint Mary’s offers a range of majors tailored for aspiring legal minds, but truthfully, any of our degree programs will provide you with a solid foundation for law school, whether you dive straight into law school post-undergrad, or choose to wait and bring valuable work experience to the table. Consider the following pathways, and whichever path you choose, know that Saint Mary’s is committed to preparing you for success in the legal realm.
