Pre-Law at TWU

Thinking about law school? You’re in the right place.

At Texas Woman’s University, our pre-law track is designed to help you explore, prepare, and thrive as you plan for a future in law. Whether you envision yourself as a practicing attorney, a judge, a policy advocate, or a community leader, TWU will help you build the skills and confidence to get there.

Law schools do not require a specific undergraduate major — but they do expect rigorous readers, persuasive writers, and disciplined analytical thinkers. That is precisely what a TWU education develops. Our students arrive at law school from majors across the university: political science, history, English, psychology, sociology, philosophy, and many more. What unites them is a shared commitment to intellectual rigor and public service.

The pre-law track at TWU provides guidance at every stage of the journey — from choosing courses that build your legal reasoning skills, to preparing for the LSAT, to crafting a compelling law school application.
