Pre-Law Program
Preparing for Law School
A legal career starts long before law school. At Elizabethtown College, majors in Political Science and Legal Studies pair with one-on-one pre-law advising and Law Early Admission Programs (LEAP) at Drexel, Duquesne, and Widener — so qualified students can secure a seat before senior year.
Internships in Harrisburg and Washington, faculty-mentored research, study abroad, and student organizations like Mock Trial and Model UN, round out a foundation that prepare graduates for any career.
