Accelerated 6-Year (3+3) Law Scholars Program for College of Liberal Arts & Education Majors
-
Economics Major
Students majoring in economics develop their analytical talents in ways that will help them apply careful reasoning skills and gain a unique perspective on human behavior. These skills aid in helping predict the effects of particular rules, explain why certain rules exist and analyze whether they should exist.
-
English Major
The study of English allows students to develop the ability to read and analyze texts that are complex and sophisticated, many of which deal with legal topics. Students majoring in English generally score higher on the GRE, LSAT, MCAT exams and earn higher scores on the GMAT exams than undergraduate business majors.
