Pre-Law Minor

Print Degree Planner (opens a new window) |

The Pre-Law Minor prepares students for the rigors of Law School by teaching them critical reasoning skills necessary for their success. The Pre-Law Minor will be required of all students participating in the Direct Entry Program with Ohio Northern University’s Pettit College of Law or the 3+3 program with the University of Dayton School of Law. Students who plan to participate in either program must declare the minor prior to the start of their second year at Heidelberg, and should work closely with an academic advisor in the Owen Center for Teaching and Learning to make sure they complete all requirements in a timely manner.
