"From the moment I stepped onto campus, every professor, staff member, and student I encountered treated me with such genuine warmth and respect, as if I were already a valued member of their community. Despite not having officially joined the EIU family, I immediately felt a deep sense of belonging. The atmosphere was one of comfort and inclusivity, where everyone seemed genuinely invested in my success and well-being."Abbey McCordPre-Law Studies | Class of 2025
The Pre-Law minor helps prepare you to pursue a J.D. or another legal career, and it pairs with any major. It is a fit if you enjoy analytical thinking, careful reading and clear writing, and you want to learn the language of the law. The 21-hour interdisciplinary minor is not required for admission to law school, but it helps prepare you for the LSAT and the rigors of law school, and courses may double count toward other majors and minors.
