Transfer
Pattern – Pre-Law
The Pre-Law program does not prepare the student to obtain employment as
a paralegal or a legal assistant.
Transfer Pattern Description:
This degree pattern is designed to help students transfer to colleges
and universities that offer a four-year degree with a major in Law or
various business programs. Beyond the general education requirements and
other degree, program, and elective requirements, this pattern should be
considered in light of the requirements of the selected transfer
institution. Students should consult with a transfer coordinator or an
advisor for information about specific requirements.
This curriculum is designed to transfer to University of Baltimore’s
Jurisprudence Program, University of Maryland University College’s Legal
Studies Program, and Villa Julie College’s Paralegal Studies Program.
Courses in the Pre-Law curriculum include an examination of the
structure and function of the state and federal legal systems, the
development of fundamental research skills, and an introduction to
concepts covered in law school. Students will have the opportunity to
explore specific areas of the law as electives, such as criminal law,
domestic relations, and business law, among other courses. Most
importantly, this course of study will enhance the fundamental critical
thinking skills that are necessary for success in the study of law.
