Law

Since law schools generally refrain from specifying a preference for any particular undergraduate major, Augustana offers-instead of a pre-law major-a set of relevant courses and pre-law advising services designed to help students in the highly competitive process of law school admission. Within the context of Augustana's broader liberal arts emphasis, this means a program which helps students develop the skills they'll need for graduate study in law: the ability to think critically, to read and comprehend difficult material, to write and speak with clarity and effectiveness, to do research and to develop and defend an argument.
