Film Studies as a major for Law School

Graduate School Law School

<p>Is Film Studies considered a vocational or technical major? I read law schools dont prefer vocational/technical majors. What are examples of these?</p>

<p>Also, are there absolutely no class requirements for law schools, unlike med schools?</p>

2

<p>No requirements.</p>

<p>Film Studies definitely falls under Humanities. It's a major that tends to copious amounts of reading, and original thought and composition, which is good for a field like law.</p>

3

<p>"What are examples of these?"</p>

<p>Trumpet performance. Hospitality management. Physical therapy. Speech pathology. Public relations. Fashion design.</p>

4

<p>Education is another.</p>

5

<p>What about computer science? Would that be suitable for law school?</p>

6

<p>Computer science means you probably have a great hold on logic, which is a big plus.</p>

<p>I see film studies as NOT a good basis for applying to law school. If that is your background, you had better have VERY strong credentials and LSAT for a top 14 school - if that's your goal.</p>

<p>I think film studies could work fine - especially if you want to go to Loyola or UCLA and go into entertainment law btw....but being a film studies major from a solid school could be a good thing...shows exposure to an array of cultures/ideas/perspectives...would assume a lot of analysis of these ideas....</p>

<p>I think the key would be to come from a well known program though. From an unknown program/school it could be perceived as really soft. It would be like a dance degree from ASU versus Julliard you know?</p>
