Political Science Major with Pre-Law Concentration (B.S.)

UNG provides a wealth of resources for pre-law students. The Department of Political Science and International Affairs offers a B.S. degree in political science with a pre-law concentration.

Students in this program take courses that often simulate those at law schools and that develop the abilities to read for a clear understanding of content; to think critically; to solve problems; and to communicate with precision, style, and clarity. Students in the program receive individualized attention from skilled pre-law advisors who are themselves graduates of law school and who know the law school admissions process.

Check out the law school FAQ for more information.

UNG's placement record of its pre-law students is exceptional. In recent years, graduates of our program have attended  these law school and more:

• Emory University
• University of Georgia
• Georgia State University
• Mercer University
• Regent University
• Samford University
• The George Washington University
• John Marshall School of Law
• University of Memphis 

Students at these and other law schools attribute their success there in large part to the solid preparation they received at UNG.

Pre-law students may intern with private law firms, county prosecutors and public defenders, or other law enforcement agencies. At presentations, forums, and workshops sponsored by UNG's Pre-Law Society (which is open to all students), attendees learn about careers in law from practicing attorneys and can receive help in preparing for the L.S.A.T. and in crafting law school admissions essays.
