Pre-Law at Virginia Tech
This web page has been prepared by the University's pre-law advisors to provide general information on pre-law studies at Virginia Tech, along with cross-references to sources that prospective students, enrolled students, and alumni/ae of Virginia Tech may wish to consult.
Please understand that this web page is not designed only for persons who have already decided to attend law school. It also contains information and cross-references that individuals should consider in deciding whether to attend law school. This point bears emphasis: You should seriously consider the advantages and disadvantages of law as a career before focusing on what courses to take, when to apply, where to apply, and the like.
There are good reasons to consult this web page and some of the listed sources before meeting with a pre-law advisor. Much of the material contained here is also available in a printed brochure that you may obtain from the pre-law advisors, the Political Science Department Office (531 Major Williams).
We strongly recommend that you not rely too heavily on any one source of information. In addition, it is important to recognize that this web page does not eliminate the need for personal consultation. Thus, we encourage you to take advantage of various resources that are available, including the services of academic and career counselors.
You may obtain information relating to the topics by clicking on them at the left, or by e-mailing the University's pre-law advisors at prelaw-at-vt.edu .
