Program(s) Available: Pre-professional
Are you someone who enjoys research, working with others and public speaking? Working in law often involves working on a team, interacting with clients and being a creative problem solver. If you are someone who can work under tight deadlines with great attention to detail, a pre-law major may be right for you.
Northwest’s pre-law program offers recommended coursework and individualized assistance in the preparation for the Law School Admissions Test (LSAT). Students also receive support in understanding the law school admission process. The program is highly successful in preparing students for admission to law school. In recent years, 31 out of 32 students were admitted to a law school! The pre-law program also provides access to multiple internship and study abroad opportunities.
*Enrollment is not open to students on F-1 Visas for the pre-professional program.
