Pre-Law and Other History Minors

• The pre-law minor is an interdisciplinary and interdepartmental minor, designed to complement a variety of majors to prepare students for a range of careers, including law, mediation,  politics or restorative justice. 
• EMU has a proven track record with restorative justice and mediation through its Center for Justice and Peacebuilding.
• As a minor, you can pair pre-law with a wide-variety of majors and lay the groundwork for  particular careers. For example: 
  • Biology + pre-law = environmental protection
  • Sociology + pre-law = juvenile justice
  • History or English + pre-law = legal practice
  • Political studies + pre-law = Capitol Hill
  • Peacebuilding and development + pre-law = human rights advocacy
  • Spanish + pre-law = immigration law
  • Business + pre-law = just and fair trade

Many students participate in EMU’s Washington D.C. internship program and intern on Capitol Hill, at social justice advocacy firms, community organizing organizations or legal aid.

EMU's many clubs and organizations give students an opportunity to explore and practice advocacy in a variety of venues. 

EMU graduates have law degrees from many schools, including George Washington University, Georgetown, Harvard, Penn State, University of Pennsylvania, University of Virginia, Wake Forest University and West Virginia University.

Many graduates do law-related work, such as advocating for changes in laws that impact the environment, the democratic process, or the world’s refugees.
