AREA OF CONCENTRATION: Gulf Coast State College students who wish to pursue a career in law require no particular major or transfer track of “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.
