Students Interested in Attending Law School:

Although Southern Utah University does not have a formal Pre-Law program, we have an excellent track record of placing students in some of the finest law schools in the United States. Assistant Professor Carl Franklin in GC 406L should be contacted for guidance during the student's undergraduate education.

Typically, students entering law school are Political Science majors. However, Criminal Justice majors also do well in law careers.

Notable law schools consider the student’s overall GPA in addition to each student’s LSAT (Law School Admissions Test) score when considering granting admission. Good grades throughout one’s undergraduate career are essential.

For further information, please contact Carl Franklin, J.D., (435) 586-5410, or any of the Political Science professors.
