Pre-law is not a major at Miami. Because law schools do not look for any particular major or area of study, students are encouraged to major in any area that interests them and in which they can excel.
A variety of courses across all disciplines and majors are available to develop the critical reading, writing, and analytical reasoning skills required to succeed in law school and beyond. Miami's pre-law recommended course list highlights some of the many courses that can help students develop these critical skills. Miami also offers many law-related courses.
Miami offers one-credit pre-law courses that enable students to explore the legal profession, assess their interest in law, and become competitive law school applicants.
The Henry Pre-Law Center sponsors an annual Law Day Fair every October where students can meet representatives from law schools from around the country. Senior competitive applicants have the opportunity to informally interview with law schools prior to the fair.
This scholarship is awarded to one or more incoming first-year students who have declared a pre-law preference and have been accepted into the Law & Public Policy Scholars Program. The scholarship may be renewed to the same student(s) for 3 subsequent academic years.
The scholarship will provide the registration cost of enrolling in a LSAT preparation course run by Miami University’s Sue J. Henry Center for Pre-Law Education. In addition, the students will have the fee for the Law School Admission Council's (LSAC) Credential Assembly Service and three Law School Reports that are associated with the LSAC application process paid for by the scholarship fund. This scholarship was established to provide support to students who are members of one or more campus organizations, fraternities, or sororities. Please contact the Center for an exact list.
This scholarship is awarded annually to one or more Miami students enrolled in Miami's spring LSAT preparation course. The scholarship is awarded to students with financial need and may cover the full or partial cost of the LSAT course.
