Introduction
The Pre-Law concentration under the Political Science major is designed for students planning to attend law school or become professional legal assistants. MTSU's Pre-Law program begins with a basic study of government and encompasses courses in speech, logic, economics, and legal research and writing. Law careers see continued growth due to the complexity of the legal system and people's tendency to seek legal remedies for problems.
