Considering History and Pre‐law? History majors have traditionally scored very well on the LSAT exam and combining pre‐law with a history degree will give you more choices in elective courses than any other degree program. The following is a sample course of study that meets both the pre‐law advising requirements and the major. Italicized courses denote pre‐law requirements.
