Prepare for Law School With a Popular Major at USF

There is no single path to getting into law school. That means the bachelor’s degree you earn now can be anything you believe is your Christian calling or that you think will best drive your success after law school. For example, if you want to work in family law, the knowledge and skills you’ll gain from a Social Work degree might be a good match. Or, if you see a future in litigation, USF’s degree in Media Studies might top your list of possible majors.

That’s the beauty of the University of Sioux Falls. As a Christian, liberal arts university, USF gives you more options and more breadth than colleges that focus more on work skills and job prep than on knowledge, exploration, discussion and debate. Big ideas matter at USF. We’re always looking for ways to help you live your faith in God and bring your own big ideas into the world.

That said, here is a list of the most popular majors for USF graduates who go on to top law schools:

• Business Administration degree, if your interest is in corporate law
• Criminal Justice degree, if you want to work in local, state or federal law or law enforcement
• English major, if you want to build strong communication and literacy for your career in law
• History & Political Science major, if you want to bring a greater perspective to your work in law
