What is the best pre-law major?
Like most universities, FSU does not offer a specific Pre-Law major. Political Science is one popular major for students planning to go to law school after graduation, because the Political Science department offers courses on the judicial system and Supreme Court decisions as well as on the American political system. However, law schools do not require any one major. They look for strong undergraduate GPAs and LSAT scores, rather than for specific majors or minors. Law schools also expect good reading, writing, critical analysis, and oral communication skills — which are skills that are developed in most social science coursework. More information on pre-law options is available on the Pre-Law Advising web site.
