PROGRAM GOAL: Gulf Coast Community College
students who wish to pursue a career in law require no
particular major or program of "pre-law" studies. As
undergraduates, students will be steered toward broadly based
studies emphasizing analytical reasoning, writing, and oral
expression, and will be expected to show a capacity to
perform at an academically rigorous level. Among the many
majors approved by the American Bar Association are
business, computer science, economics, English, history,
linguistics, math, natural sciences, philosophy, political
science, psychology, and sociology.
Students may major in business, English, or one of the social
sciences, or follow the general education curriculum. Law is
a limited access program at most universities.
ELECTIVES
Students are strongly encouraged to take courses that will
enhance writing skills.
