<p>Law is not an undergraduate major in the United States as it is in many other nations. In this country people study law at the graduate level. Nor do most colleges have a “pre-law” major or a sequence of courses specifically geared for those interested in law school. Students admitted to law schools frequently have backgrounds in the humanities (philosophy, English, classics) or the social sciences (economics, political science, history), but many also have math or science backgrounds. Any of these fields can be an excellent preparation for law school, especially if they combine a lot of writing with analytical reasoning.</p>
