Bethel College’s pre-law program is built on your selected major plus a package of pre-law courses. Some popular majors for students interested in going into law include literary studies, history, social work, Bible and religion and business administration, although there is no one recommended major. You are encouraged to consult with your academic advisor to organize a program of study that will develop habits of thoroughness, logical thinking, a good grasp of social institutions and clarity of expression (all recommendations from the Association of American Law Schools).
