Summer & Fall 2025 Course Recommendations

It’s time to get excited about Summer & Fall courses! Each semester we receive many questions from pre-law students regarding courses helpful in preparation for law school. Pre-Law Advising has made a helpful chart with suggested classes pre-law students might find useful and interesting when planning and exploring a legal education.

In general, students interested in going to law school should take classes that focus on analytical and critical thinking, communication, research and writing, and when possible – legal topics of interest. The recommended course list includes classes from many disciplines that might serve one or more of these goals. Look at the chart to find courses that interest you and will help build the necessary skills for law school.
