Pre-Law

A curiosity about a law school is the only prerequisite you need to become a pre-law student at Muhlenberg.

The Muhlenberg Pre-Law Program is one of the college’s preprofessional advisory programs, where students receive guidance toward the pursuit of a career in the legal profession.

Through personalized preprofessional advising, you’ll explore whether law school is the right path and map an academic experience built to deliver the analytical reasoning, writing precision, and ethical grounding that top law schools demand. Advisors support you at every stage in the process, from course selection, experiential learning opportunities, to navigating the law school application cycle, evaluating offers, and pursuing scholarships.

Grounded in Muhlenberg’s rigorous liberal arts curriculum, pre-law students develop the skills and habits recommended by the American Bar Association as foundational for success on the LSAT and in law school. Along the way, you’ll strengthen your ability to think critically, communicate persuasively, engage with complex social issues, and gain exposure to legal practice through service, research, and real-world experience, preparing you not just to apply to law school, but to excel once you arrive.
