PRE-LEGAL COURSES

For admission to the Department of Law, in addition to the completion
of an approved high school course of four years, or its equivalent, the candidate
must present evidence that for at least two years he has pursued as a resident
in a standard college courses acceptable toward a baccalaureate degree, of which
he must have successfully completed at least 30 session-hours or 60 semester-hours.

All the required pre-legal courses are offered in the Summer Quarter.

Credit will be given for completed courses only. A completed course is one
for which the student is entitled to final credit toward a baccalaureate degree
from the institution in which the work was done, without further pursuit of that
course.

Notice is given that beginning with the session of 1932-1933, courses in Art,
Music, Education, Physical Training, or Military Training will not be acceptable
for admission to the Law School

The following subjects are recommended as desirable pre-legal courses: English,
Latin, a Modern Language, History, a Natural Science, Mathematics, Political
Science, Accounting, Economics, Psychology, Philosophy, and Public Speaking.
