Considering a career in the legal profession
Calvin's pre-law program can help you to make the most of your liberal arts education at Calvin. The pre-law program will provide you with the resources you need to discover whether a career in the legal profession is appropriate for you and help you prepare to enter the field of law.
There is no prescribed major or minor for students planning to attend law school. Students are accepted into law programs from various fields and interests; the only requirements for admission to law school are that you have earned an undergraduate degree and have taken the Law School Admission Test (LSAT).
