Law

Students preparing to enter law school should obtain a strong education in liberal arts. No one major can be described as the best prelegal program. Courses in writing, political science, logic, economics, statistics, and computer science all can be helpful preparation for law school. Admission to law school is highly competitive, and law schools consider undergraduate cumulative grade-point average, strength of academic program, and results of the Law School Admission Test (LSAT). Students interested in law school should consult the campus prelaw advisers, Professors Aman McLeod and G. Alan Tarr, Department of Political Science, 401 Cooper Street. Information for admission to Rutgers School of Law–Camden may be obtained from the Office of Admissions, 406 Penn Street, Third Floor, or by mail at the Office of Admissions, School of Law–Camden, Rutgers, The State University of New Jersey, 406 Penn Street, Third Floor, Camden, NJ 08102 (856-225-6102).
