THE DOOR TO SERVICE IN THE LEGAL PROFESSION
Indiana Wesleyan University's Political Science Pre-Law program provides students with the skill sets needed for law school and public service. Building on a Political Science foundation, students majoring in Pre-Law will explore the various fields of legal studies while refining their abilities in communication, writing, research, and critical reasoning. Students will receive training from full-time academics and practicing legal professionals. Internship placements will provide hands-on experience with those in public service or elected office. Students majoring in Pre-Law are strongly encouraged to pursue a second, complimentary field of study to further strengthen a skill set or more deeply understand an area of legal practice.
