PRE-LAW SCHOLARS PROGRAM For Freshmen entering in the Fall of 2003 PROGRAM STRUCTURE The Pre-law Scholars program allows students to reduce from seven years to six years the total time needed to complete the bachelor’s and law degrees. A typical bachelor’s degree program in the College of Business Administration consists of three parts: core curriculum requirements, major requirements, and electives. In the first three years of the Pre-law Scholars program, students will complete the core curriculum and major requirements. Courses taken in the fourth year (the first year of law school) count as electives for the bachelor’s degree and toward the completion of the law degree. The majors students may choose to pursue are:
The Assistant Dean of the College of Business Administration and/or a designated business faculty member will be responsible for the academic advising of Pre-law Scholars. Academic Standards for Pre-Law Scholars Admission to the Pre-Law Scholars program is offered only to five incoming first-year students (freshmen), ordinarily during the Spring prior to the first year. Students must apply and be accepted into the program. Admission guarantees the Scholar a place in Marquette Law School’s first-year class of 2006, after completion of the third year of undergraduate studies (and having earned at least 99 credits) in the College of Business Administration. Students will maintain a place in the Law School by fulfilling the following requirements:
Students may choose to complete the fourth year as an undergraduate; in such a case, the student will be guaranteed a place in the Law School entering class the following year, provided the academic standards of the program are met. While the Law School is bound to hold a place for Scholars who meet all requirements, students are not obligated to attend Marquette’s Law School. Students may elect to complete the undergraduate degree in the major(s) chosen. The College of Business Administration will base its calculations for academic honors on all credits earned toward the bachelor's degree, including Law School credits needed to total 129 credits. Financial Aid The financial aid and scholarships Pre-Law Scholars receive will be applicable only to the first three years at Marquette. After completing the first three years of undergraduate course work, the student must apply for financial aid and scholarships through the Law School. Eligibility Requirements for Pre-Law Scholars Program (prior to freshmen year) High school students who have followed a rigorous college preparatory curriculum and who have demonstrated a potential for success by fulfilling the criteria below are eligible to apply for the program. The Pre-Law Scholars Selection Committee, comprised of members of the College of Business Administration and the Office of Undergraduate Admissions, will evaluate the applicants and select students for the program.
