If you've decided to explore a career in law, Western Michigan University has a four-year pre-law study plan and advisors available to help you create an individual program that will position you to apply to law schools of your choice. No special college program is required or recommended by most law schools. Generally, law schools urge a solid four-year program leading to a bachelor's degree. As long as you receive a quality education featuring critical analysis, logical reasoning, and written and oral communications, any WMU major is acceptable. Most often chosen are English, business, political science, history and economics, but such disciplines as philosophy, anthropology, mathematics, sociology, natural sciences, engineering, education, fine arts and aviation are also suitable majors.
