Pre-Law Studies

"Nobody has a more sacred obligation to obey the law than those who make the law."

Sophocles, Athenian Playwright (c.496-406 B.C.)

Why Pre-Law?

The Pre-Law program at Colorado Christian University is a pre-professional program designed to equip students with the skills and abilities needed to gain admittance into law school and pursue a career in the legal field. You do not have to major in "Pre-Law" in order to attend law school as long as appropriate prerequisite courses are included in your undergraduate coursework. Your choice of major will depend on the type of legal issues that most interest you as well as the academic subjects you find engaging. We strongly recommend that if your desire is to gain admittance into any law school, you are fully aware of the courses you may be required to take during your undergraduate experience.

There are a number of particular CCU courses that may interest aspiring lawyers, no matter what academic major is chosen. Most of our Pre-Law graduates have obtained a formal degree in Business Administration, Psychology, Global Studies, or Liberal Arts with a minor in Social Science or Leadership. For example, students planning to go into corporate law may want to major or minor in business administration. Students with an interest in criminal law may wish to take courses or a full academic program in psychology. Those with international interests may decide to complete junior and senior level coursework in non-western history and/or languages. Other students may choose to prepare for law school by selecting a major in liberal arts or social science, and enrolling in a variety of challenging courses for a broad literary, social, historical, and political background.

Pre-Law in the Christian University

Nowhere in society is there a greater need for Christians than in the fields of law and government. An education that steeps a person in the Christian world view and focuses on the integration of faith, learning, and living provides an excellent background for those who want to move into the hundreds of careers that are available for those with a degree in law. All of those are careers that position a person to have a significant impact upon our society. Colorado Christian University is a great launching pad for those who want to be difference-makers and a career in law is a great way to enable the difference-maker to maximize his or her impact on our society.
