Pre-Law

Offered by Department of Political Science

The UNK Pre-Law program, which is housed within the Department of Political Science, encourages students to take coursework and pursue majors/minors designed to further develop their critical thinking, reading and writing skills. The most common major amongst UNK Pre-Law students is Political Science, but students also major in Business, Criminal Justice, English, History and Psychology, among others. Throughout the year, students are encouraged to attend various student panels sponsored by the UNK Pre-Law Society student organization (on internships, LSAT and law school application preparation, what the 1st year of law school is like, etc.), participate in breakfasts with local attorneys and go on group visits to the University of Nebraska College of Law. Our focus is also on helping students engage in experiential learning opportunities through internships (law firms and county attorney offices, state/local government, Washington DC, etc.), undergraduate research and international experiences (field study courses that take students abroad).
