Pre-Law Preparation

Welcome

Iowa State has a broad range of majors and courses that can lead to a career in law. As an R1 research institution, we offer the strong academics and experiences that help you build skills in research, analytical writing, critical thinking, and more. Cyclones are well-regarded by law schools, and our pre-law advising program is focused on helping you prepare a competitive application.

Advising for Current Students

[Learning that law schools don’t require specific majors] allowed me to choose a field that genuinely interested me while still serving as a solid foundation for my career aspiration.
