Pre-Law Track - Sub-Plan Option

The Pre-Law "track" is independent of the department's three "concentrations" in American government, political theory, and world politics. Students from any concentration may be "pre-law trackers," though the usual course offerings mean it overlaps the most with the American government concentration.

Note that the pre-law sequence supplements, but does not replace, other requirements for the major. Thus, the student still pursues one of the three regular concentrations - American, world, or theory - while completing the additional requirements listed below. All pre-law courses in the Politics department also count toward a regular concentration.
